+`1.4a (2020/02/19)`
+----
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+ - **xintexpr**: the macros implementing customization of
+ `\xintthealign` have modified meanings and names.
+
+### New features
+
+ - **xintexpr**: `\xintthespaceseparated` (serves to provide
+ suitable input to PS-Tricks `\listplot`).
+
+ - **xintexpr**: the optional argument `[D]` to `\xintieval/\xintiexpr`
+ can be negative, with the same meaning as the non-negative case, i.e.
+ *quantization* to an integer multiple of `10^(-D)`.
+
+ The same applies to the functions `trunc()` and `round()`. And to
+ the `\xintTrunc`, `\xintRound`, `\xintiTrunc`, and `\xintiRound` macros
+ of **xintfrac**.
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - **xintexpr**: usage of `round()` and `trunc()` within `\xintdeffunc`
+ got broken at `1.4`.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: `add()` and `mul()` were supposedly accepting the
+ `omit`, `abort` and `break()` keywords since `1.4` but this was
+ broken.

-\subsection{Quick overview of syntax elements}
-
-Here is a (partial) list of the recognized syntax elements:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item the comma (to separate distinct computations or arguments to a
- function),
-\item parentheses,
-\item square brackets,\NewWith{1.4}
-\item \hyperref[tab:precedences]{operators}:
- \begin{itemize}[nosep]
-\item |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|,
-\item powers via |^| or equivalently |**|, see \xintlogname for allowing usage of
- them with fractional exponents (half-integer exponents are allowed by
- default by \csbxint{floateval}),
-\item |//| for floored division (attention that |-3//2| is computed as
- |-(3//2)|) and |/:| its associated modulo,
-\item branching via |(x)?{x non zero}{x zero}| and |(x)??{x<0}{x=0}{x>0}|
- syntax,
-\item Boolean logic |!()|, |?()| (truth values), |&&| (equivalently |'and'|), \verb+||+ (equivalently
- |'or'|), |'xor'|,
-\item comparison operators |==|, |!=|, |<|, |>|, |<=|, |>=|,
-\item factorial (exact or floating point, but only for integer arguments) via
- the postfix operator |!|.
- \end{itemize}
-\item the |"| is used to prefix hexadecimal (only uppercase) input. This is
- NOT activated by default: package \xintbinhexname \fbox{must} be explicitly
- loaded,
-%\item |'| for octal input (\emph{not yet}),
-\item various \hyperref[tab:functions]{functions}:
- \begin{itemize}[nosep]
- \item rounding and truncating \func{round}, \func{trunc} to a given fixed
- point precision or with \func{float} to a given floating point precision,
- \item the square-root \func{sqrt} achieves correct rounding in arbitrary
- precision,
- \item \func{binomial}, \func{factorial}, \func{pfactorial},
- \item \func{gcd} and \func{lcm} both work with general fractions as input,
- \item randomness related functions such as \func{random} and
- \func{randrange} for random floats or integers; they require that \TeX\
- engine provides \csa{pdfuniformdeviate} or \csa{uniformdeviate} primitive,
- \item trigonometrical functions \xinttrigname,
- \item logarithm and exponential functions \xintlogname.
- \item pseudo-functions whose syntax involves usage of dummy variables:
- \xintFor #1 in {subs, subsm, subsn, rseq, seq, add, mul, iter, rrseq, iterr,
- ndseq, ndmap}\do
- {\func{#1}\xintifForLast{.}{, }}
- \end{itemize}
-\item built-in and user-defined \hyperref[ssec:uservariables]{variables} and \hyperref[ssec:userfunctions]{functions}.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-The normal mode of operation of the parsers is to unveil the parsed material
-token by token. Unveiling is a process combining brace removal (one level
-generally) and \fexpan sion (think of it as a kind of adaptative |\edef|).
-Thus all tokens may arise from expansion of macros or active characters. For
-example a closing parenthesis does not have generally to be immediately
-visible, it may arise later from expansion. Even the ending |\relax| may
-arise from expansion. Even though the \csbxint{eval} user interface means that
-the package has at some point the entire expression in its hands, it
-immediately re-inserts it into token stream with an additional postfixed
-|\relax| and from this point on has lost any ways to manipulate formally again
-the whole thing; it can only re-discover it piece per piece.
-
-This general behaviour has significative exceptions mostly related to
-«pseudo»-functions. A «pseudo»-function will grab some of its arguments via
-delimited macros. For example |subs(expr1,x=expr2)| needs to see the comma,
-equal sign and closing parenthesis. But it has mechanisms to allow |expr1| and
-|expr2| to possess their own commas and parentheses.
-
-Inner semi-colons on the currently always can originate from expansion.
-Defining functions or variables requires a visible semi-colon acting as
-delimiter of the expression, but inner semi-colons do not need to be
-hidden within braces or macros\NewWith{1.4}. The semi-colon catcode will be
-set at the start of the process but of course this is too late if the whole
-thing has already been grabbed in a macro.
-
-The expansion stops only when the ending |\relax| has been found;
-it is then removed from the token stream, and the final computation result is
-inserted.
-
-Some examples with dummy variables:
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintiiexpr add(i^5, i=100..200)\relax\par
-\noindent\xintexpr add(x/(x+1), x = 1000..1014)\relax\par
-\noindent\xintexpr reduce(add(x/(x+1), x = 1000..1014))\relax
-\end{everbatim*}
-\newline In this example, the fraction obtained by addition was thus already
-irreducible, but this is not always the case:
-\begin{framed}
- By default, basic operations on fractions do not automatically reduce to
- smallest terms the output: |A/B| multiplied by |C/D|
- returns |AC/BD|, and |A/B| added to |C/D| uses |lcm(B, D)| as denominator.

+explicitly the |reduce()| function to convert the fractions into smallest
+terms). Thus most probably what you want is \csbxint{floateval} and
\csbxint{floatexpr}.
+\subsection{Expansion}
+
+As mentioned already, the parsers are compatible with expansion-only
+context.
+
+Also, they expand the expression piece by piece:
+the normal mode of operation of the parsers is to unveil the parsed material
+token by token. Unveiling is a process combining brace removal (one level
+generally) and \fexpan sion.
+
+For example a closing parenthesis does not have generally to be immediately
+visible, it may arise later from expansion. Even the ending |\relax| may
+arise from expansion. Even though the \csbxint{eval} user interface means that
+the package has at some point the entire expression in its hands, it
+immediately re-inserts it into token stream with an additional postfixed
+|\relax| and from this point on has lost any ways to manipulate formally again
+the whole thing; it can only re-discover it piece per piece.
+
+This general behaviour has significative exceptions mostly related to
+«pseudo»-functions. A «pseudo»-function will grab some of its arguments via
+delimited macros. For example |subs(expr1,x=expr2)| needs to see the comma,
+equal sign and closing parenthesis. But it has mechanisms to allow |expr1| and
+|expr2| to possess their own commas and parentheses.
+
+Inner semi-colons on the other hand currently always can originate from expansion.
+Defining functions or variables requires a visible semi-colon acting as
+delimiter of the expression, but inner semi-colons do not need to be
+hidden within braces or macros\NewWith{1.4}.
+
+The expansion stops only when the ending |\relax| has been found
+(it is then removed from the token stream).
+
+For catcode related matters see \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes}.
+
A word of warning on the bracketed optional argument of respectively
-\csbxint{floatexpr} and \csbxint{iexpr}. If defining macros handing over an
-argument to one of these two parsers, the argument may accidentally start with
-a left square bracket |[| and this will break the parser. The fix is to use in
-the macro definition |\xintfloatexpr\empty| for example. The extra |\empty|
-token will prevent the parser thinking there is an optional argument and it
-will then disappear during expansion.
+\csbxint{floatexpr} and \csbxint{iexpr}. When defining macros which will hand

-The |1.4| release from |2020/01/31| maintains the same general architecture
-but needed adapting all the code base for the switch from |\csname| to
-|\expanded| techniques. On this occasion the mechanism for defining functions
-was substantially strengthened. The parser core mechanisms were improved too.
-
-The package loads automatically \xintfracname and \xinttoolsname.
-
-This section is limited to some information which has not already been covered
-in \autoref{sec:xintexprsyntax}.
-
-\subsection{The \csh{xintexpr} expressions}
-\label{xintexpr}
-\label{xinttheexpr}
-\label{thexintexpr}
-\label{xintthe}
-
-An \xintexprname{}ession is a construct
-\csbxint{expr}\meta{expandable\_expression}|\relax|\etype{x} where the
-expandable expression is read and completely expanded from left to right.
-
-An |\xintexpr...\relax| \emph{must} end in a |\relax| (which will be absorbed).
-Contrarily to a |\numexpr| expression, it is printable\CHANGED{1.4} as is without a prefix
-|\the| or |\number| (don't use them with |\xintexpr| this will raise an
-error).
-
-But one can use |\xintthe| prefix if one does need the explicit digits and
-other characters as in the final typesetted result.
-
-As an alternative and equivalent syntax to
-\begin{everbatim}
-\xintexpr round(<expression>, D)\relax
-\end{everbatim}
-there is
-\begin{everbatim}
-\xintiexpr [D] <expression> \relax
-\end{everbatim}
-The parameter |D| must be zero or positive.\footnote{|D=0|
- corresponds to using |round(<expression>)| not |round(<expression>,0)| which
- would leave a trailing dot. Same for |trunc|. There is also function |float|
- for floating point rounding to \csbxint{theDigits} or the given number of
- significant digits as second argument.} Perhaps some future version will
-give a meaning to using a negative |D|.\footnote{Thanks to KT for this
- suggestion. Sorry for the delay in implementing it... matter of formatting
- the output and corresponding choice of user interface are still in need of
- some additional thinking.}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item the expression may contain arbitrarily many levels of nested parenthesized
- sub-expressions,
-\item the expression may contain explicitely or from a macro expansion a
- sub-expression |\xintexpr...\relax|, which itself may contain a
- sub-expressions etc\dots
-\item to let sub-contents evaluate as a sub-unit it should thus be either
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item parenthesized,
- \item or a sub-expression |\xintexpr...\relax|.
- \end{enumerate}
- \item to use an expression as argument to macros from \xintfracname,
- or more generally to macros which expand their arguments, one must use the
- |\xinttheexpr...\relax| or |\xintthe\xintexpr...\relax| forms.
- \item one should not use |\xintthe\xintexpr...\relax| as a sub-constituent of
- another expression but only the
- |\xintexpr...\relax| form which is more efficient in this context.
- \item each \xintexprname{}ession, whether prefixed or not with |\xintthe|, is
- completely expandable and obtains its result in two expansion steps.
-\end{itemize}
-
-The information now following is possibly in need of updates.
-
-\begin{itemize}[parsep=0pt, labelwidth=\leftmarginii,
- itemindent=0pt, listparindent=\leftmarginiii, leftmargin=\leftmarginii]
-\item An expression is built the standard way with opening and closing
- parentheses, infix operators, and (big) numbers, with possibly a fractional
- part, and/or scientific notation (except for \csbxint{iiexpr} which only
- admits big integers). All variants work with comma separated expressions. On
- output each comma will be followed by a space. A decimal number must have
- digits either before or after the decimal mark.
-
-\item As everything gets expanded, the characters |.|, |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|, |^|,
- |!|, |&|, \verb+|+, |?|, |:|, |<|, |>|, |=|, |(|, |)|, |"|, |]|, |[|, |@|
- and the comma |,| should not (if used in the expression) be active. For
- example, the French language in |Babel| system, for pdf\LaTeX, activates |!|,
- |?|, |;| and |:|. Turn off the activity before expressions using such characters.
-
- Alternatively the macro \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} resets all
- characters potentially needed by \csbxint{expr} to their standard catcodes
- and \csbxint{exprRestoreCatcodes} restores the former status.
-
-\item Count registers and |\numexpr|-essions are accepted (LaTeX{}'s counters
- can be inserted using |\value|) natively without |\the| or |\number| as
- prefix. Also dimen registers and control sequences, skip registers and
- control sequences (\LaTeX{}'s lengths), |\dimexpr|-essions,
- |\glueexpr|-essions are automatically unpacked using |\number|, discarding
- the stretch and shrink components and giving the dimension value in |sp|
- units ($1/65536$th of a \TeX{} point). Furthermore, tacit multiplication is
- implied, when the (count or dimen or glue) register or variable, or the
- (|\numexpr| or |\dimexpr| or |\glueexpr|) expression is immediately prefixed
- by a (decimal) number. See \autoref{ssec:tacit multiplication} for the complete rules
- of tacit multiplication.\IMPORTANT
-
-\item With a macro |\x| defined like this:
- %
- \leftedline{|\def\x {\xintexpr \a + \b \relax}| or |\edef\x {\xintexpr
- \a+\b\relax}|}
- %
- one may then do |\xintthe\x|, either for printing the result on the page or
- to use it in some other macros expanding their arguments. The |\edef| does
- the computation immediately but keeps it in a protected form.
- Naturally, the |\edef| is only possible if |\a| and |\b| are already
- defined. With both approaches the |\x| can be inserted in other expressions,
- as for example (assuming naturally as we use an |\edef| that in the
- `yet-to-be computed' case the |\a| and |\b| now have some suitable meaning):
- %
- \leftedline {|\edef\y {\xintexpr \x^3\relax}|}
-
-\item There is also \csbxint{boolexpr}| ... \relax| and
- \csbxint{theboolexpr}| ... \relax|.
-
-\item See also
- \csbxint{ifboolexpr} (\autoref{xintifboolexpr}) and the
- \func{bool} and \func{togl} functions
- in \autoref{sec:expr}. Here is an example. Well in fact the
- example ended up using only \csbxint{boolexpr} so it
- was modified to use \csbxint{ifboolexpr}.

-\item See also \csbxint{ifsgnexpr}.
-
-\item There is \csbxint{floatexpr}| ... \relax| where the algebra is done
- in floating point approximation (also for each intermediate result). Use the
- syntax |\xintDigits:=N\relax| to set the precision. Default: $16$ digits.
- %
- \leftedline{|\xintthefloatexpr 2^100000\relax:| \dtt{\xintthefloatexpr
- 2^100000\relax }}
- %
- The square-root operation can be used in |\xintexpr|, it is computed
- as a float with the precision set by |\xintDigits| or by the optional
- second argument:
- %
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheexpr sqrt(2,60)\relax\newline
-Here the [60] is to avoid truncation to |\xinttheDigits| of precision on output.\newline
-\printnumber{\xintthefloatexpr [60] sqrt(2,60)\relax}
-\end{everbatim*}
-
- Floats are quickly indispensable when using the power function, as exact
- results will easily have hundreds, even thousands of digits.
- %
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintDigits:=48\relax \xintthefloatexpr 2^100000\relax
-\end{everbatim*}
-
- Only integer and (in |\xintfloatexpr...\relax|) half-integer exponents are
- allowed.
-
-\item if one uses \emph{macros} within |\xintexpr..\relax| one should
- obviously take into account that the parser will \emph{not} see the macro
- arguments, hence one cannot use the syntax there, except if the arguments
- are themselves wrapped as |\xinttheexpr...\relax| and assuming the macro
- \fexpan ds these arguments.
-\end{itemize}
-\subsection{\texorpdfstring{\texttt{\protect\string\numexpr}}{\textbackslash
- numexpr} or \texorpdfstring{\texttt{\protect\string\dimexpr}}{\textbackslash
- dimexpr} expressions, count and dimension registers and variables}
-\label{ssec:countinexpr}
-
-Count registers, count control sequences, dimen registers, dimen control
-sequences (like |\parindent|), skips and skip control sequences, |\numexpr|,
-|\dimexpr|, |\glueexpr|, |\fontdimen| can be inserted directly, they will be
-unpacked using |\number| which gives the internal value in terms of scaled
-points for the dimensional variables: $1$\,|pt|${}=65536$\,|sp| (stretch and
-shrink components are thus discarded).
-
-Tacit multiplication (see \autoref{ssec:tacit multiplication}) is implied,
-when a number or decimal number prefixes such a register or control sequence.
-\LaTeX{} lengths are skip control sequences and \LaTeX{} counters should be
-inserted using |\value|.
-
-Release |1.2| of the |\xintexpr| parser also recognizes and prefixes with
-|\number| the |\ht|, |\dp|, and |\wd| \TeX{} primitives as well as the
-|\fontcharht|, |\fontcharwd|, |\fontchardp| and |\fontcharic| \eTeX{}
-primitives.
-
-In the case of numbered registers like |\count255| or |\dimen0| (or |\ht0|),
-the resulting digits will be re-parsed, so for example |\count255 0| is like
-|100| if |\the\count255| would give |10|. The same happens with inputs such
-as |\fontdimen6\font|. And |\numexpr 35+52\relax| will be exactly as if |87|
-as been encountered by the parser, thus more digits may follow: |\numexpr
-35+52\relax 000| is like |87000|. If a new |\numexpr| follows, it is treated
-as what would happen when |\xintexpr| scans a number and finds a non-digit: it
-does a tacit multiplication.
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheexpr \numexpr 351+877\relax\numexpr 1000-125\relax\relax{} is the same
-as \xinttheexpr 1228*875\relax.
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-Control sequences however (such as |\parindent|) are picked up as a whole by
-|\xintexpr|, and the numbers they define cannot be extended extra digits, a
-syntax error is raised if the parser finds digits rather than a legal
-operation after such a control sequence.
-
-A token list variable must be prefixed by |\the|, it will not be unpacked
-automatically (the parser will actually try |\number|, and thus fail). Do not
-use |\the| but only |\number| with a dimen or skip, as the |\xintexpr| parser
-doesn't understand |pt| and its presence is a syntax error. To use a dimension
-expressed in terms of points or other \TeX{} recognized units, incorporate it in
-|\dimexpr...\relax|.
-
-Regarding how dimensional expressions are converted by \TeX{} into scaled points
-see also \autoref{sec:Dimensions}.
-
-\subsection{Catcodes and spaces}
-
-Active characters may (and will) break the functioning of \csbxint{expr}.
-Inside an expression one may prefix, for example a |:| with |\string|. Or, for
-a more radical way, there is \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes}. This is a
-non-expandable step as it changes catcodes.
-
-\subsubsection{\csh{xintexprSafeCatcodes}}
-\label{xintexprSafeCatcodes}
-
-This macro sets the catcodes of many characters to safe values. This is used
-internally by \csbxint{NewExpr} (restoring the catcodes on exit), hence it
-does not have to be protected against active characters when used at
-top-level.
-
-Also \csbxint{defvar}, \csbxint{deffunc}, ..., use it before fetching their
-semi-colon delimited arguments, so they can be used (also in the document
-body) for example with Babel+French which makes the semi-colon active in the
-(\LaTeX) document body.
-
-As \csbxint{NewExpr} and \csbxint{deffunc} and variants use internally some
-|\scantokens|, they will (reasonably) succeed in sanitizing catcodes in the
-expressions, even if all is from the replacement text of some macro whose
-definition was done under some special catcode regime.
-
-But \csbxint{deffunc}, \csbxint{defvar} and variants need the (catcode other)
-semi-colon as delimiter. Thus make sure the semi-colon has its normal catcode
-when using \csbxint{deffunc} inside some macro definition.
-
-The macros \csbxint{deffunc} and variants ignore completely the colon in |:=|
-(which furthermore is optional) so it can have any (reasonable) frozen catcode.
-
-The macros \csbxint{defvar} and variants are also compatible with any
-reasonable frozen catcode of the colon |:| in |:=|, and the colon presence is
-only optional.
-
-\begin{framed}
- It is important to ALWAYS shortly let \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} be followed
- by \csbxint{exprRestoreCatcodes}.\IMPORTANTf{} If one uses twice
- \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} then the next \csbxint{exprRestoreCatcodes} will
- restore the ancient catcode regime at time of the first one.
-\end{framed}
-
-\subsubsection{\csh{xintexprRestoreCatcodes}}
-\label{xintexprRestoreCatcodes}
-
-Restores the catcodes to the earlier state. More precisely,
-\csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} sets a toggle (with local scope). If the toggle is
-set already it does not restore the current catcodes. The next
-\csa{xintexprRestoreCatcodes} unsets the toggle.
-So, in case of nesting, the
-catcodes are restored to what they were when the \emph{first} un-paired
-\csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} got executed.
-
-\bigskip
-
-Spaces inside an |\xinttheexpr...\relax| should mostly be
-innocuous (except inside macro arguments).
-
-|\xintexpr| and |\xinttheexpr| are for the most part agnostic regarding
-catcodes: (unbraced) digits, binary operators, minus and plus signs as
-prefixes, dot as decimal mark, parentheses, may be indifferently of catcode
-letter or other or subscript or superscript, ..., it doesn't matter.%
-%
-\footnote{Furthermore, although \csbxint{expr} uses \csa{string}, it is
- escape-char agnostic. It should work with any \csa{escapechar} setting
- including -1.}
-
-The characters |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|, |^|, |!|, |&|, \verb+|+, |?|, |:|, |<|, |>|,
-|=|, |(|, |)|, |"|, |[|, |]|, |;|, the dot and the comma should not be active if
-in the expression, as everything is expanded along the way. If one of them is
-active, it should be prefixed with |\string|.
-
-The exclamation mark |!| should have its standard catcode: with catcode letter
-it is used internally and hence will confuse the parsers if it comes from the
-expression.
-
-Digits, slash, square brackets, minus sign, in the output from an
-|\xinttheexpr| are all of catcode 12. For |\xintthefloatexpr| the `e' in the
-output has its standard catcode ``letter''.
-
-A macro with arguments will expand and grab its arguments before the
-parser may get a chance to see them, so the situation with catcodes and spaces
-is not the same within such macro arguments.
-
-
-
-\subsection{Expandability, \csh{xintexpro}}
-
-As is the case with all other package macros |\xintexpr| \fexpan ds (in two
-steps) to its final (somewhat protected) result; and |\xinttheexpr| \fexpan ds
-(in two steps) to the chain of digits (and possibly minus sign |-|, decimal
-mark |.|, fraction slash |/|, scientific |e|, square brackets |[|, |]|)
-representing the result.
-
-The once expanded |\xintexpr| is |\romannumeral0\xintexpro|. is similarly
-|\xintiexpro| |\xintiiexpro| and |\xintfloatexpro|. For an example see
-\autoref{ssec:fibonacci}.
-
-An expression can only be legally finished by a |\relax| token, which
-will be absorbed.
-
-It is quite possible to nest expressions among themselves; for example, if one
-needs inside an |\xintiiexpr...\relax| to do some computations with fractions,
-rounding the final result to an integer, one just has to insert
-|\xintiexpr...\relax|. The functioning of the infix operators will not be in
-the least affected from the fact that the outer ``environment'' is the
-|\xintiiexpr| one.
-
-
-\subsection{\csh{xintDigits*}, \csh{xintSetDigits*}}
-\label{xintDigits*}
-\label{xintSetDigits*}
-
-These starred variants of \csbxint{Digits} and \csbxint{SetDigits} execute
-\csbxint{reloadxinttrig}.
-
-\subsection{\csh{xintiexpr}, \csh{xinttheiexpr}}
-\label{xintiexpr}\label{xinttheiexpr}\label{thexintiexpr}
-
-Equivalent\etype{x} to doing |\xintexpr round(...)\relax| (more precisely,
-|round| is applied to each item independently of its depth inside square
-brackets. Intermediate calculations are exact, only the final output gets
-rounded. Half integers are rounded towards $+\infty$ for positive
-numbers and towards $-\infty$ for negative ones.
-
-An optional parameter |D>0| within brackets, immediately after |\xintiexpr|
-is allowed: it instructs the expression to do its final rounding to the
-nearest value with that many digits after the decimal mark, \emph{i.e.},
-|\xintiexpr [D] <expression>\relax| is equivalent (in case of a single
-expression) to |\xintexpr round(<expression>, D)\relax|.
-
-|\xintiexpr [0] ...| is the same as |\xintiexpr ...|.
-
-If truncation rather than rounding is needed use (in case of a single
-expression, naturally) |\xintexpr trunc(...)\relax| for truncation to an
-integer or |\xintexpr trunc(...,D)\relax| for truncation to a decimal number
-with |D>0| digits after the decimal mark (works only here for single scalar
-value).
-
-Perhaps in the future some meaning will be given to using negative value for
-the optional parameter |D|.\footnote{Thanks to Kpym for this suggestion.}
-
-\subsection{\csh{xintiiexpr}, \csh{xinttheiiexpr}}
-\label{xintiiexpr}\label{xinttheiiexpr}\label{thexintiiexpr}
-
-This variant\etype{x} does not know fractions. It deals almost only with long
-integers. Comma separated lists of expressions are allowed.
-
-\begin{framed}
- It maps |/| to the \emph{rounded} quotient. The operator
- |//| is, like in |\xintexpr...\relax|, mapped to \emph{truncated} division.
- The Euclidean quotient (which for positive operands is like the truncated
- quotient) was, prior to release |1.1|, associated to |/|. The function
- |quo(a,b)| can still be employed.
-\end{framed}
-
-The \csbxint{iiexpr}-essions use the `ii' macros for addition, subtraction,
-multiplication, power, square, sums, products, Euclidean quotient and
-remainder.
-
-The |round|, |trunc|, |floor|, |ceil| functions are still available, and are
-about the only places where fractions can be used, but |/| within, if not
-somehow hidden will be executed as integer rounded division. To avoid this one
-can wrap the input in \dtt{qfrac}: this means however that none of the normal
-expression parsing will be executed on the argument.
-
-To understand the illustrative examples, recall that |round| and |trunc| have
-a second (non negative) optional argument. In a normal \csbxint{expr}-essions,
-|round| and |trunc| are mapped to \csbxint{Round} and \csbxint{Trunc}, in
-\csbxint{iiexpr}-essions, they are mapped to \csbxint{iRound} and
-\csbxint{iTrunc}.
-
-
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheiiexpr 5/3, round(5/3,3), trunc(5/3,3), trunc(\xintDiv {5}{3},3),
-trunc(\xintRaw {5/3},3)\relax{} are problematic, but
-%
-\xinttheiiexpr 5/3, round(qfrac(5/3),3), trunc(qfrac(5/3),3), floor(qfrac(5/3)),
-ceil(qfrac(5/3))\relax{} work!
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-On the other hand decimal numbers and scientific numbers can be used directly
-as arguments to the |num|, |round|, or any function producing an integer.
-
-\begin{framed}
- Scientific numbers will be
- represented with as many zeroes as necessary, thus one does not want to
- insert \dtt{num(1e100000)} for example in an \csa{xintiiexpr}ession!
-\end{framed}
-
-%
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheiiexpr num(13.4567e3)+num(10000123e-3)\relax % should (num truncates) compute 13456+10000
-\end{everbatim*}
-%
-
-The |reduce| function is not available and will raise an error. The |frac|
-function also. The |sqrt| function is mapped to \csbxint{iiSqrt} which gives
-a truncated square root. The |sqrtr| function is mapped to \csbxint{iiSqrtR}
-which gives a rounded square root.
-
-One can use the Float macros if one is careful to use |num|, or |round|
-etc\dots on their output.
-
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheiiexpr \xintFloatSqrt [20]{2}, \xintFloatSqrt [20]{3}\relax % no operations
-
-\noindent The next example requires the |round|, and one could not put the |+| inside it:
-
-\xinttheiiexpr round(\xintFloatSqrt [20]{2},19)+round(\xintFloatSqrt [20]{3},19)\relax
-
-(the second argument of |round| and |trunc| tells how many digits from after the
-decimal mark one should keep.)
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-The whole point of \csbxint{iiexpr} is to gain some speed in
-\emph{integer-only} algorithms, and the above explanations related to how to
-nevertheless use fractions therein are a bit peripheral. We observed
-(2013/12/18) of the order of $30$\% speed gain when dealing with numbers with
-circa one hundred digits (1.2: this info may be obsolete).
-
-
-\subsection{\csh{xintboolexpr}, \csh{xinttheboolexpr}}
-\label{xintboolexpr}\label{xinttheboolexpr}\label{thexintboolexpr}
-
-Equivalent\etype{x} to doing |\xintexpr ...\relax| and returning $True$ if the
-result does not vanish, and $False$ if the result is zero. As |\xintexpr|, this
-can be used on comma separated lists of expressions, and even bracketed lists.
-\CHANGED{1.4}
-
-It can be customized, one only needs to modify the following:
-\begin{everbatim}
-\def\xintboolexprPrintOne#1{\xintiiifNotZero{#1}{True}{False}}%
-\end{everbatim}
-Not only are |True| and |False| usable in input, also |true| and |false| are
-pre-declared variables.
-
-Maybe obsolete:
-
-There is slight quirk in case it is used as a sub-expression: the boolean
-expression needs at least one logic operation else the value is not
-standardized to |1| or |0|, for example we get from
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheexpr \xintboolexpr 1.23\relax\relax\newline
-\end{everbatim*}which is to be compared with
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinttheboolexpr 1.23\relax
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-% A related issue existed with
-% |\xinttheexpr \xintiexpr 1.23\relax\relax|, which was fixed with |1.1|
-% release, and I decided back then not to add the needed overhead also to the
-% |\xintboolexpr| context, as one only needs to use |?(1.23)| for example or
-% involve the |1.23| in any logic operation like |1.23 'and' 3.45|, or involve
-% the |\xintboolexpr ..\relax | itself with any logical operation, contrarily to
-% the sub-|\xintiexpr| case where |\xinttheexpr 1+\xintiexpr 1.23\relax\relax|
-% did behave contrarily to expectations until |1.1|.

-\subsection{\csh{xintfloatexpr},

-\label{xintfloatexpr}\label{xintthefloatexpr}\label{thexintfloatexpr}
-
-\csbxint{floatexpr}|...\relax|\etype{x} is exactly like |\xintexpr...\relax|
-but with the four binary operations and the power function are mapped to
-\csa{xintFloatAdd}, \csa{xintFloatSub}, \csa{xintFloatMul}, \csa{xintFloatDiv}
-and \csa{xintFloatPower}, respectively.\footnote{Since |1.2f| the \string^
- handles half-integer exponents, contrarily to \csa{xintFloatPower}.}
-
-The target precision for the computation is from the
-current setting of |\xintDigits|. Comma separated lists of expressions are
-allowed.
-
-An optional parameter within brackets is allowed:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item if positive it instructs the macro to round the result to that many
- digits of precision. It thus makes sense to employ it only if this parameter is
- less than the \csbxint{theDigits} precision.
-\item if negative it means to trim off that many digits (of course, in the
- sense of rounding
- the values to shorter mantissas). Don't use it to trim all digits (or more than all)!
-\end{itemize}
-
-Since |1.2f| all float operations first round their arguments; a parsed number
-is not rounded prior to its use as operand to such a float operation.

-I recall here from \autoref{ssec:floatingpoint} that with release |1.2f| the
-float macros for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division round
-their arguments first to |P| significant places with |P| the asked-for
-precision of the output; and similarly the power macros and the
-square root macro. This does not modify anything for computations with
-arguments having at most |P| significant places already.

-\label{xinteval}\label{xintieval}\label{xintiieval}\label{xintfloateval}
-
-\csbxint{eval}\etype{x} is an \fexpan dable macro which is basically defined
-like this (DON'T BELIEVE THIS; it has been entirely revamped at |1.4|):
-\begin{everbatim}
-\def\xinteval#1{\romannumeral-`0\xinttheexpr#1\relax}% OLD DEFINITION < 1.4
-\end{everbatim}
-thus expands in two steps (its exact definition differs from the one given
-above in order to achieve a slight optimization).
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xinteval{add(x^2, x = 100..110), add(x^3, x = 100..110)}
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-\csbxint{ieval}\etype{x} is similarly related to \csbxint{theiexpr}. Its optional
-argument must be located inside the braces:
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintieval{[7] 355/113}
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-\csbxint{iieval}\etype{x} is similarly related to \csbxint{theiiexpr}.
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintiieval{add(x^2, x = 100..110), add(x^3, x = 100..110)}
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-\csbxint{floateval}\etype{x} is similarly related to \csbxint{thefloatexpr}. Its optional
-argument must be located inside the braces:
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintfloateval{[7] 355/113}
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-When negative it tells how many digits to remove from the prevailing precision
-(\csbxint{theDigits}):
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintfloateval{[-2] 355/113} has \xinttheDigits\ minus 2 digits.
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-These macros are useful when one uses some extra wrapper doing some parsing of
-its input, like the |\num| macro of
-\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/siunitx}{siunitx}, which would choke on some of the
-syntax elements allowed inside \csb{xintexpr}|...\relax| (for example
-brackets).
-As shown in the above examples, these macros, like the underlying parsers
-accept arbitrarily many comma separated expressions.
-
-
-\subsection{Using an expression parser within another one}
-
-This was already illustrated before. In the following:
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintfloatexpr \xintexpr add(1/i, i=1234..1243)\relax ^100\relax
-\end{everbatim*},
-the inner sum is computed exactly. Then it will be rounded to |\xinttheDigits|
-significant digits, and then its power will be evaluated as a float operation.
-One should avoid the "|\xintthe|" parsers in inner positions as this induces
-digit by digit parsing of the inner computation result by the outer parser.
-Here is the same computation done with floats all the way:
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintfloatexpr add(1/i, i=1234..1243)^100\relax
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-Not surprisingly this differs from the previous one which was exact until
-raising to the |100|th power.
-
-The fact that the inner expression occurs inside a bigger one has nil
-influence on its behaviour. There is the limitation though that the outputs
-from \csbxint{expr} and \csbxint{floatexpr} can not be used directly in
-\csbxint{theiiexpr} integer-only parser. But one can do:
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\xintiiexpr round(\xintfloatexpr 3.14^10\relax)\relax % or trunc
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-
-\subsection{The \csh{xintthecoords} macro}
-\label{xintthecoords}
-
-It converts a comma separated list into the format for list of coordinates as
-expected by the |TikZ| |coordinates| syntax.%
-%
-\footnote{The implementation had to work around the
-problem that |TikZ| seemingly allows only a maximal number of about one
-hundred expansion steps for the list to be entirely produced.}%
-%
-\begin{everbatim*}

-
-As examplified above, \csbxint{thecoords} is to be used followed immediately
-by either \csbxint{floatexpr} or \csbxint{iexpr} or \csbxint{iiexpr}.
-
-
-The next\IMPORTANT{}
-paragraph is probably obsoleted by |1.4| as |\xintexpr| does use
-scienttific notation on output however with a possible denominator.
-
-As |TikZ| will not understand the |A/B[N]| format which is used on output by
-|\xintexpr|, |\xintthecoords\xintexpr| has no use inside a |TikZ| picture but
-may have other usages; the reason for the spaces in output is to allow if
-necessary to print on the page for examination and give \TeX\ a change to
-establish line-breaks.

-
-\csbxint{NewExpr} macro is used as:
-%
-\leftedline{|\xintNewExpr{\myformula}[n]|\marg{stuff}, where}
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \meta{stuff} will be inserted inside |\xinttheexpr . . . \relax|,
-\item |n| is an integer between zero and nine, inclusive, which is the number
- of parameters of |\myformula|,
-\item the placeholders |#1|, |#2|, ..., |#n| are used inside \meta{stuff} in
- their usual r\^ole,%
-%
-\catcode`# 12
-\footnote{if \csa{xintNewExpr} is used inside a macro,
- the |#|'s must be doubled as usual.}
- \footnote{the |#|'s will in pratice have their usual
- catcode, but category code other |#|'s are accepted too.}
-\catcode`# 6
-%
-\item the |[n]| is \emph{mandatory}, even for |n=0|.%
-\footnote{there is some use for \csa{xintNewExpr}|[0]| compared to an
- \csa{edef} as \csa{xintNewExpr} has some built-in catcode protection.}
-\item the macro |\myformula| is defined without checking if it already exists,
- \LaTeX{} users might prefer to do first |\newcommand*\myformula {}| to get a
- reasonable error message in case |\myformula| already exists,
-\item the protection against active characters is done automatically (as long
- as the whole thing has not already been fetched as a macro argument and
- the catcodes correspondingly already frozen).
-\end{itemize}
-
-It (if it succeeds) will be a completely expandable macro entirely built-up using |\xintAdd|,
-|\xintSub|, |\xintMul|, |\xintDiv|, |\xintPow|, etc\dots as corresponds to the
-expression written with the infix operators.
-Macros created by |\xintNewExpr| can thus be nested.

- \item \FA {\FB {30}{10}}{\FB {40}{20}}
-\end{enumerate}
-\end{everbatim*}
-
-The documentation is much shortened here because \csbxint{NewExpr} and \csbxint{deffunc}
-are very much related one with the other.
-
-\begin{framed}
- ATTENTION!
-
- The original spirit of \csbxint{NewExpr} was to define a (possibly very big)
- macro using only \xintfracname, and this means in particular that it must be
- used only with arguments compatible with the \xintfracname input
- format.\IMPORTANTf
-
- Thus an |\xintexpr| declared variable has no chance to work, it must be
- wrapped explicitly in |\xinteval{...}| to be fetched as argument to a macro
- constructed by \csbxint{NewExpr}.
-\end{framed}
-
-They share essentially the same limitations.
-
-Notice though that \csbxint{NewFloatExpr} accepts and recognizes the optional
-argument |[Q]| of \csbxint{floatexpr}, contrarily to \csbxint{deffloatfunc}.
-Use an |\empty| in case the contents are not known in advance.
-
-
-Historical note: prior to |1.4|, \xintexprname used a |\csname..\endcsname|
-encapsulation technique which impacted the string pool memory. The
-\csbxint{NewExpr} was designed as a method to pre-parse the expression and
-produce one single, gigantic, nested usage of the relevant \xintfracname
-macros. This way, only those macros were expanded which had nil impact on the
-\TeX{} string pool.
-
-Later on it was found that this mechanism could be employed to define
-functions. Basically underneath |98%| of \csbxint{NewExpr} and
-\csbxint{deffunc} are using the same shared code.
-
-\xintDigits:= 16\relax
-
-\subsection{Analogies and differences of \csh{xintiiexpr} with \csh{numexpr}}
-
-\csbxint{iiexpr}|..\relax| is a parser of expressions knowing only (big)
-integers. There are, besides the enlarged range of allowable inputs, some
-important differences of syntax between |\numexpr| and |\xintiiexpr| and
-variants:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Contrarily to |\numexpr|, the |\xintiiexpr| parser will stop expanding
- only after having encountered (and swallowed) a \emph{mandatory} |\relax|
- token.
-\item In particular, spaces between digits (and not only around infix
- operators or parentheses) do not stop |\xintiiexpr|, contrarily to the
- situation with |numexpr|: |\the\numexpr 7 + 3 5\relax| expands (in one
- step)%
-%
-\footnote {The |\numexpr| triggers continued expansion after the space
- following the |3| to check if some operator like |+| is upstream. But
- after having found the |5| it treats it as and end-marker.}
-%
- to \dtt{\detokenize\expandafter{\the\numexpr 7 + 3 5\relax}\unskip}, whereas
- |\xintthe\xintiiexpr 7 + 3 5\relax| expands (in two steps) to
- \dtt{\detokenize\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter {\xintthe\xintiiexpr 7
- + 3 5\relax}}.%
-%
-\footnote {Since |1.2l| one can also use the underscore |_| to separate digits
-for readability of long numbers.}
-
-\item Inside an |\edef|, an expression |\xintiiexpr...\relax| get fully
- evaluated, whereas |\numexpr| without |\the| or |\number| prefix would not,
- if not itself embedded in another |\the\numexpr| or similar context.
-\item (ctd.) The private format to which |\xintiiexpr...\relax| (et al.)
- evaluates may use |\xintthe| prefix to turn into explicit digits,
- (for example in arguments to some macros which expand their arguments). The |\the| \TeX\ primitive prefix would
- not work here.
-\item (ctd.) One can embed a |\numexpr...\relax| (with its |\relax|!) inside an
- |\xintiiexpr...\relax| without |\the| or |\number|, but the reverse situation
- requires usage of |\xintthe| or \csbxint{eval} user interface,
-\item |\numexpr -(1)\relax| is illegal. In contrast |\xintiiexpr -(1)\relax| is
- perfectly legal and gives the expected result (what else ?).
-\item |\numexpr 2\cnta\relax| is illegal (with |\cnta| a |\count| register.)
- In contrast
- |\xintiiexpr 2\cnta\relax| is perfectly legal and will do the tacit
- multiplication.
-\item |\the\numexpr| or |\number\numexpr| expands in one step, but
- |\xintthe\xintiiexpr| or |\xinttheiiexpr| needs two steps.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsection{Chaining expressions for expandable algorithmics}
-\label{ssec:fibonacci}
-
-We will see in this section how to chain |\xintexpr|-essions with
-|\expandafter|'s, like it is possible with |\numexpr|. For this it is
-convenient to use |\romannumeral0\xintexpro| which is the once-expanded form of
-|\xintexpr|, as we can then chain using only one |\expandafter| each time.
-
-For example, here is the code employed
-on the title page to compute (expandably, of course!) the 1250th Fibonacci
-number:
-
-\begin{everbatim*}

-\end{everbatim*}
-
-
-The macro |\Fibonacci| produces not one specific value |F(N)| but a pair of
-successive values |{F(N)}{F(N+1)}| which can then serve as starting point of
-another routine devoted to compute a whole sequence |F(N), F(N+1),
-F(N+2),....|. Each of |F(N)| and |F(N+1)| is kept in the encapsulated internal
-\xintexprname format.
-
-|\FibonacciN| produces the single |F(N)|. It also keeps it in the private
-format; thus printing it will need the |\xintthe| prefix.
-
-\begingroup\footnotesize\sffamily\baselineskip 10pt
-Here a code snippet which
-checks the routine via a \string\message\ of the first $51$ Fibonacci
-numbers (this is not an efficient way to generate a sequence of such
-numbers, it is only for validating \csa{FibonacciN}).
-%
-\begin{everbatim}
-\def\Fibo #1.{\xintthe\FibonacciN {#1}}%
-\message{\xintiloop [0+1] \expandafter\Fibo\xintiloopindex.,
- \ifnum\xintiloopindex<49 \repeat \xintthe\FibonacciN{50}.}
-\end{everbatim}
-\endgroup
-
-The way we use |\expandafter|'s to chain successive |\xintiiexpro| evaluations
-is exactly analogous to what is possible with |\numexpr|. The various
-|\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro| could very well all have been |\xintiiexpr|'s but
-then we would have needed |\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter| each
-time.
-
-\begin{framed}
- There is a difference though: |\numexpr| does \emph{NOT} expand inside an
- |\edef|, and to force its expansion we must prefix it with |\the| or
- |\number| or |\romannumeral| or another |\numexpr| which is itself prefixed,
- etc\dots.
-
- But |\xintexpr|, |\xintiexpr|, ..., expand fully in an |\edef|, with the
- completely expanded
- result encapsulated in a private format.
-
- Using |\xintthe| as prefix is necessary to print the result (like |\the| or
- |\number| in the case of |\numexpr|), but it is not necessary to get the
- computation done (contrarily to the situation with |\numexpr|).
-\end{framed}
-
-
-Our |\Fibonacci| expands completely under \fexpan sion, so we can use
-\hyperref[fdef]{\ttfamily\char92fdef} rather than |\edef| in a situation such
-as
-%
-\leftedline {|\fdef \X {\FibonacciN {100}}|}
-%
-but it is usually about as efficient to employ |\edef|. And if we want
-%
-\leftedline{|\edef \Y {(\FibonacciN{100},\FibonacciN{200})}|,}
-%
-then |\edef| is necessary.
-
-Allright, so let's now give the code to generate |{F(N)}{F(N+1)}{F(N+2)}...|,
-using |\Fibonacci| for the first two and then using the standard recursion
-|F(N+2)=F(N+1)+F(N)|:

-I was greatly helped in my preparatory thinking, prior to producing such an
-expandable parser, by the commented source of the
-\href{https://ctan.org/pkg/l3kernel}{l3fp} package, specifically the
-|l3fp-parse.dtx| file (in the version of April-May 2013; I think there was in
-particular a text called ``roadmap'' which was helpful). Also the source of the
-|calc| package was instructive, despite the fact that here for |\xintexpr| the
-principles are necessarily different due to the aim of achieving expandability.

-% (this corresponds to the first line in the code above). This is achieved in a

-\subsection{Completely expandable prime test}
-\label{ssec:primesI}
-
-Let us now construct a completely expandable macro which returns $1$ if its
-given input is prime and $0$ if not:
-\everb|@
-\def\remainder #1#2{\the\numexpr #1-(#1/#2)*#2\relax }
-\def\IsPrime #1%
- {\xintANDof {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}{\xintSeq {2}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}}}
-|
-
-This uses \csbxint{iiSqrt} and assumes its input is at least $5$. Rather than
-\xintname's own \csbxint{iiRem} we used a quicker |\numexpr| expression as we
-are dealing with short integers. Also we used \csbxint{ANDof} which will
-return $1$ only if all the items are non-zero. The macro is a bit
-silly with an even input, ok, let's enhance it to detect an even input:
-\everb|@
-\def\IsPrime #1%
- {\xintiiifOdd {#1}
- {\xintANDof % odd case
- {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}
- {\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}%
- }%
- }
- {\xintifEq {#1}{2}{1}{0}}%
- }
-|
-
-We used the \xintname expandable tests (on big integers or fractions)
-in order for |\IsPrime| to be \fexpan dable.
-
-Our integers are short, but without |\expandafter|'s with
-|\@firstoftwo|, % @ n'est plus actif dans le dtx 1.1 !
-or some other related techniques,
-direct use of |\ifnum..\fi| tests is dangerous. So to make the macro more
-efficient we are going to use the expandable tests provided by the package
-\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox}%
-%
-\footnote{\url{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}}.
-%
-The macro becomes:
-%
-\everb|@
-\def\IsPrime #1%
- {\ifnumodd {#1}
- {\xintANDof % odd case
- {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}{\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}}}
- {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}}
-|
-
-In the odd case however we have to assume the integer is at least $7$, as
-|\xintSeq| generates an empty list if |#1=3| or |5|, and |\xintANDof| returns
-$1$ when supplied an empty list. Let us ease up a bit |\xintANDof|'s work by
-letting it work on only $0$'s and $1$'s. We could use:
-%
-\everb|@
-\def\IsNotDivisibleBy #1#2%
- {\ifnum\numexpr #1-(#1/#2)*#2=0 \expandafter 0\else \expandafter1\fi}
-|
-\noindent
-where the |\expandafter|'s are crucial for this macro to be \fexpan dable and
-hence work within the applied \csbxint{ANDof}. Anyhow, now that we have loaded
-\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox}, we might as well use:
-%
-\everb|@
-\newcommand{\IsNotDivisibleBy}[2]{\ifnumequal{#1-(#1/#2)*#2}{0}{0}{1}}
-|
-\noindent
-Let us enhance our prime macro to work also on the small primes:
-\everb|@
-\newcommand{\IsPrime}[1] % returns 1 if #1 is prime, and 0 if not
- {\ifnumodd {#1}
- {\ifnumless {#1}{8}
- {\ifnumequal{#1}{1}{0}{1}}% 3,5,7 are primes
- {\xintANDof
- {\xintApply
- { \IsNotDivisibleBy {#1}}{\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}}%
- }}% END OF THE ODD BRANCH
- {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}% EVEN BRANCH
-}
-|
-
-The input is still assumed positive. There is a deliberate blank before
-\csa{IsNotDivisibleBy} to use this feature of \csbxint{Apply}: a space stops the
-expansion of the applied macro (and disappears). This expansion will be done by
-\csbxint{ANDof}, which has been designed to skip everything as soon as it finds
-a false (i.e. zero) input. This way, the efficiency is considerably improved.
-
-We did generate via the \csbxint{Seq} too many potential divisors though. Later
-sections give two variants: one with \csbxint{iloop} (\autoref{ssec:primesII})
-which is still expandable and another one (\autoref{ssec:primesIII}) which is a
-close variant of the |\IsPrime| code above but with the \csbxint{For} loop, thus
-breaking expandability. The \hyperref[ssec:primesII]{xintiloop variant} does not
-first evaluate the integer square root, the \hyperref[ssec:primesIII]{xintFor
- variant} still does. I did not compare their efficiencies.
-
-
-Let us construct with this expandable primality test a table of the prime
-numbers up to $1000$. We need to count how many we have in order to know how
-many tab stops one shoud add in the last row.%
-%
-\footnote{although a tabular row may have less tabs than in the
- preamble, there is a problem with the \char`\|\space\space vertical
- rule, if one does that.}
-%
-There is some subtlety for this
-last row. Turns out to be better to insert a |\\| only when we know for sure we
-are starting a new row; this is how we have designed the |\OneCell| macro. And
-for the last row, there are many ways, we use again |\xintApplyUnbraced| but
-with a macro which gobbles its argument and replaces it with a tabulation
-character. The \csbxint{For*} macro would be more elegant here.

-\subsection{Miller-Rabin Pseudo-Primality expandably}
-\label{ssec:PrimesIV}
-
-
-At the time of writing, the code at the link above is still the version from
-April 2016 and it needed some hacks to get recursive (pseudo)-functions
-defined. Since |1.2h| of |2016/11/20| there is \csbxint{NewFunction} which
-allows us here to avoid such internal hacking.
-
-And since |1.3| of |2018/03/01|, it is possible to use \csbxint{defiifunc}
-also for recursive definitions, so we use it here, but we can benefit from it
-only for modular exponentiation as the rest of the code uses |iter| or |break|
-statements which are not yet compatible with \csbxint{defiifunc}.
-
-The |isPseudoPrime(n)| is usable in \csbxint{iiexpr}-essions and establishes
-if its (positive) argument is a Miller-Rabin PseudoPrime to the bases $2, 3,
-5, 7, 11, 13, 17$. If this is true and $n<341550071728321$ (which has 15
-digits) then $n$ really is a prime number.
-
-Similarly $n=3825123056546413051$ (19 digits) is the smallest composite number
-which is a strong pseudo prime for bases $2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19$ and
-$23$. It is easy to extend the code below to include these additional tests
-(we could make the list of tested bases an argument too, now that I think
-about it.)
-
-For more information see
- \centeredline{\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality_test#Deterministic_variants_of_the_test}}
- and
-\centeredline{\url{http://primes.utm.edu/prove/prove2_3.html}}
-
-In particular, according to \textsc{Jaeschke} \emph{On strong pseudoprimes to
- several bases,} Math. Comp., 61 (1993) 915-926, if $n < 4,759,123,141$ it is
-enough to establish Rabin-Miller pseudo-primality to bases $a = 2, 7, 61$ to
-prove that $n$ is prime. This range is enough for \TeX\ numbers and we could
-then write a very fast expandable primality test for such numbers using only
-|\numexpr|. Left as an exercise\dots

-\subsection{A table of factorizations}
-\label{ssec:factorizationtable}
-
-As one more example with \csbxint{iloop} let us use an alignment to display the
-factorization of some numbers. The loop will actually only play a minor r\^ole
-here, just handling the row index, the row contents being almost entirely
-produced via a macro |\factorize|. The factorizing macro does not use
-|\xintiloop| as it didn't appear to be the convenient tool. As |\factorize| will
-have to be used on |\xintiloopindex|, it has been defined as a delimited macro.
-
-To spare some fractions of a second in the compilation time of this document
-(which has many many other things to do), \number"7FFFFFED{} and
-\number"7FFFFFFF, which turn out to be prime numbers, are not given to
-|factorize| but just typeset directly; this illustrates use of
-\csbxint{iloopskiptonext}.
-
-The code next generates a \hyperref[floatfactorize]{table} which has
-been made into a float appearing \vpageref{floatfactorize}. Here is now
-the code for factorization; the conditionals use the package provided
-|\xint_firstoftwo| and |\xint_secondoftwo|, one could have employed
-rather \LaTeX{}'s own |\@firstoftwo| and |\@secondoftwo|, or, simpler
-still in \LaTeX{} context, the |\ifnumequal|, |\ifnumless| \dots,
-utilities from the package |etoolbox| which do exactly that under the
-hood. Only \TeX{} acceptable numbers are treated here, but it would be
-easy to make a translation and use the \xintname macros, thus extending
-the scope to big numbers; naturally up to a cost in speed.
-
-The reason for some strange looking expressions is to avoid arithmetic overflow.

-\subsection{Another table of primes}
-\label{ssec:primesIII}
-
-As a further example, let us dynamically generate a tabular with the first $50$
-prime numbers after $12345$. First we need a macro to test if a (short) number
-is prime. Such a completely expandable macro was given in \autoref{ssec:primesI},
-here we consider a variant which will be slightly more efficient. This new
-|\IsPrime| has two parameters. The first one is a macro which it redefines to
-expand to the result of the primality test applied to the second argument. For
-convenience we use the \href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} wrappers to
-various |\ifnum| tests, although here there isn't anymore the constraint of
-complete expandability (but using explicit |\if..\fi| in tabulars has its
-quirks); equivalent tests are provided by \xintname, but they have some overhead
-as they are able to deal with arbitrarily big integers.

-the CPU registers\dots
-
-\subsection{The Quick Sort algorithm illustrated}\label{ssec:quicksort}
-
-First a completely expandable macro which sorts a comma separated list of
-numbers.%
-%
-\footnote{The code in earlier versions of this manual handled inputs composed
- of braced items. I have switched to comma separated inputs on the occasion
- of (link removed)
- The version here is like
- |code 3| on
- (link removed) (which is about |3x| faster
- than the earlier code it replaced in this manual) with a modification to
- make it more efficient if the data has many repeated values.
-
- A faster routine (for sorting hundreds of values) is provided as |code 6| at
- the link mentioned in the footnote, it is based on Merge Sort, but limited
- to inputs which one can handle as \TeX{} dimensions.%
-
- This |code 6| could be extended to handle more general numbers, as
- acceptable by \xintfracname. I have also written a non expandable version,
- which is even faster, but this matters really only when handling hundreds or
- rather thousands of values.}
-%
-
-The |\QSx| macro expands its list argument, which may thus be a macro; its
-comma separated items must expand to integers or decimal numbers or fractions
-or scientific notation as acceptable to \xintfracname, but if an item is
-itself some (expandable) macro, this macro will be expanded each time the item
-is considered in a comparison test! This is actually good if the macro expands
-in one step to the digits, and there are many many digits, but bad if the macro
-needs to do many computations. Thus |\QSx| should be used with either explicit
-numbers or with items being macros expanding in one step to the numbers
-(particularly if these numbers are very big).
-
-If the interest is only in \TeX{} integers, then one should replace the
-|\xintifCmp| macro with a suitable conditional, possibly helped by tools such as
-|\ifnumgreater|, |\ifnumequal| and |\ifnumless| from
-\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} (\LaTeX{} only; I didn't see a
-direct equivalent to |\xintifCmp|.) Or, if we are dealing with decimal numbers
-with at most four+four digits, then one should use suitable |\ifdim| tests.
-Naturally this will boost consequently the speed, from having skipped all the
-overhead in parsing fractions and scientific numbers as are acceptable by
-\xintfracname macros, and subsequent treatment.

- moreover is anyhow overwhelmed by the TikZ's activities. Simultaneously I

- The

-The |\FibonacciN| macro found in \autoref{ssec:fibonacci} is completely
-expandable, it is even \fexpan dable. We need a wrapper with |\xintthe|
-prefix
-\begin{everbatim*}
-\def\theFibonacciN{\xintthe\FibonacciN}

- \edef\GCDAB {\xintiiGCD\A\B}\edef\Z {\theFibonacciN\GCDAB}
- \edef\GCDXY{\xintiiGCD\X\Y}
-
- The |\xintthe| prefix also allows its use it as argument to the \xintname
- macros: for example if we are interested in knowing how many digits
- $F(1250)$ has, it suffices to issue |\xintLen {\theFibonacciN {1250}}|
- (which expands to \dtt{\xintLen {\theFibonacciN {1250}}}). Or if we want to
- check the formula $gcd(F(1859),F(1573))=F(gcd(1859,1573))=F(143)$, we only
- need%

-The |\theFibonacciN| macro expanded its |\xintiiGCD{1859}{1573}| argument via the
-services of |\numexpr|: this step allows only things obeying the \TeX{} bound,
-naturally! (but \dtt{F(\xintiiPow2{31}}) would be rather big anyhow...).
-
-This is very convenient but of course it repeats the complete evaluation each
-time it is done. In practice, it is often useful to store the result of such
-evaluations in macros. Any |\edef| will break expandability, but if the goal
-is at some point to print something to the |dvi| or |pdf| output, and not only
-to the |log| file, then expandability has to be broken one day or another!
-
-Hence, in practice, if we want to print in the document some computation
-results, we can proceed like this and avoid having to repeat identical
-evaluations:

-of both sides: $\gcd(F(\A),F(\B))=\gcd(\printnumber\X,\printnumber\Y)=
-\printnumber{\GCDXY} = F(\gcd(\A,\B)) = F(\GCDAB) =\printnumber\Z$.\par

-to such extremes, for things such as big fractions or floating point numbers
-(even continued fractions...) which anyhow can not be used directly within
-\TeX's primitives such as |\ifnum|? Why insist on a concept

+\label{xintthe}
+
+An \xintexprname{}ession is a construct
+\csbxint{expr}\meta{expandable\_expression}|\relax|\etype{x} where the
+expandable expression is read and completely expanded from left to right.
+
+An |\xintexpr...\relax| \emph{must} end in a |\relax| (which will be absorbed).
+Contrarily to a |\numexpr| expression, it is printable\CHANGED{1.4} as is without a prefix
+|\the| or |\number| (don't use them with |\xintexpr| this will raise an
+error).
+
+But one can use |\xintthe| prefix if one does need the explicit digits and
+other characters as in the final typesetted result.
+
+As an alternative and equivalent syntax to
+\begin{everbatim}
+\xintexpr round(<expression>, D)\relax
+\end{everbatim}
+there is
+\begin{everbatim}
+\xintiexpr [D] <expression> \relax
+\end{everbatim}
+The parameter |D| must be zero or positive.\footnote{|D=0|
+ corresponds to using |round(<expression>)| not |round(<expression>,0)| which
+ would leave a trailing dot. Same for |trunc|. There is also function |float|
+ for floating point rounding to \csbxint{theDigits} or the given number of
+ significant digits as second argument.} Perhaps some future version will
+give a meaning to using a negative |D|.\footnote{Thanks to KT for this
+ suggestion. Sorry for the delay in implementing it... matter of formatting
+ the output and corresponding choice of user interface are still in need of
+ some additional thinking.}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item the expression may contain arbitrarily many levels of nested parenthesized
+ sub-expressions,
+\item the expression may contain explicitely or from a macro expansion a
+ sub-expression |\xintexpr...\relax|, which itself may contain a
+ sub-expressions etc\dots
+\item to let sub-contents evaluate as a sub-unit it should thus be either
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item parenthesized,
+ \item or a sub-expression |\xintexpr...\relax|.
+ \end{enumerate}
+ \item to use an expression as argument to macros from \xintfracname,
+ or more generally to macros which expand their arguments, one must use the
+ |\xinttheexpr...\relax| or |\xintthe\xintexpr...\relax| forms.
+ \item one should not use |\xintthe\xintexpr...\relax| as a sub-constituent of
+ another expression but only the
+ |\xintexpr...\relax| form which is more efficient in this context.
+ \item each \xintexprname{}ession, whether prefixed or not with |\xintthe|, is
+ completely expandable and obtains its result in two expansion steps.

+ output each comma will be followed by a space. A decimal number must have
+ digits either before or after the decimal mark.
+
+\item As everything gets expanded, the characters |.|, |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|, |^|,
+ |!|, |&|, \verb+|+, |?|, |:|, |<|, |>|, |=|, |(|, |)|, |"|, |]|, |[|, |@|
+ and the comma |,| should not (if used in the expression) be active. For
+ example, the French language in |Babel| system, for pdf\LaTeX, activates |!|,
+ |?|, |;| and |:|. Turn off the activity before expressions using such characters.
+
+ Alternatively the macro \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} resets all
+ characters potentially needed by \csbxint{expr} to their standard catcodes
+ and \csbxint{exprRestoreCatcodes} restores the former status.
+
+\item Count registers and |\numexpr|-essions are accepted (LaTeX{}'s counters
+ can be inserted using |\value|) natively without |\the| or |\number| as
+ prefix. Also dimen registers and control sequences, skip registers and
+ control sequences (\LaTeX{}'s lengths), |\dimexpr|-essions,
+ |\glueexpr|-essions are automatically unpacked using |\number|, discarding
+ the stretch and shrink components and giving the dimension value in |sp|
+ units ($1/65536$th of a \TeX{} point). Furthermore, tacit multiplication is
+ implied, when the (count or dimen or glue) register or variable, or the
+ (|\numexpr| or |\dimexpr| or |\glueexpr|) expression is immediately prefixed
+ by a (decimal) number. See \autoref{ssec:tacit multiplication} for the complete rules
+ of tacit multiplication.\IMPORTANT
+
+\item With a macro |\x| defined like this:
+ %
+ \leftedline{|\def\x {\xintexpr \a + \b \relax}| or |\edef\x {\xintexpr
+ \a+\b\relax}|}
+ %
+ one may then do |\xintthe\x|, either for printing the result on the page or
+ to use it in some other macros expanding their arguments. The |\edef| does
+ the computation immediately but keeps it in a protected form.
+ Naturally, the |\edef| is only possible if |\a| and |\b| are already
+ defined. With both approaches the |\x| can be inserted in other expressions,
+ as for example (assuming naturally as we use an |\edef| that in the
+ `yet-to-be computed' case the |\a| and |\b| now have some suitable meaning):
+ %
+ \leftedline {|\edef\y {\xintexpr \x^3\relax}|}

+\subsection{\texorpdfstring{\texttt{\protect\string\numexpr}}{\textbackslash
+ numexpr} or \texorpdfstring{\texttt{\protect\string\dimexpr}}{\textbackslash
+ dimexpr} expressions, count and dimension registers and variables}
+\label{ssec:countinexpr}
+
+Count registers, count control sequences, dimen registers, dimen control
+sequences (like |\parindent|), skips and skip control sequences, |\numexpr|,
+|\dimexpr|, |\glueexpr|, |\fontdimen| can be inserted directly, they will be
+unpacked using |\number| which gives the internal value in terms of scaled
+points for the dimensional variables: $1$\,|pt|${}=65536$\,|sp| (stretch and
+shrink components are thus discarded).
+
+Tacit multiplication (see \autoref{ssec:tacit multiplication}) is implied,
+when a number or decimal number prefixes such a register or control sequence.
+\LaTeX{} lengths are skip control sequences and \LaTeX{} counters should be
+inserted using |\value|.
+
+Release |1.2| of the |\xintexpr| parser also recognizes and prefixes with
+|\number| the |\ht|, |\dp|, and |\wd| \TeX{} primitives as well as the
+|\fontcharht|, |\fontcharwd|, |\fontchardp| and |\fontcharic| \eTeX{}
+primitives.
+
+In the case of numbered registers like |\count255| or |\dimen0| (or |\ht0|),
+the resulting digits will be re-parsed, so for example |\count255 0| is like
+|100| if |\the\count255| would give |10|. The same happens with inputs such
+as |\fontdimen6\font|. And |\numexpr 35+52\relax| will be exactly as if |87|
+as been encountered by the parser, thus more digits may follow: |\numexpr
+35+52\relax 000| is like |87000|. If a new |\numexpr| follows, it is treated
+as what would happen when |\xintexpr| scans a number and finds a non-digit: it
+does a tacit multiplication.
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xinttheexpr \numexpr 351+877\relax\numexpr 1000-125\relax\relax{} is the same
+as \xinttheexpr 1228*875\relax.
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+Control sequences however (such as |\parindent|) are picked up as a whole by
+|\xintexpr|, and the numbers they define cannot be extended extra digits, a
+syntax error is raised if the parser finds digits rather than a legal
+operation after such a control sequence.
+
+A token list variable must be prefixed by |\the|, it will not be unpacked
+automatically (the parser will actually try |\number|, and thus fail). Do not
+use |\the| but only |\number| with a dimen or skip, as the |\xintexpr| parser
+doesn't understand |pt| and its presence is a syntax error. To use a dimension
+expressed in terms of points or other \TeX{} recognized units, incorporate it in
+|\dimexpr...\relax|.
+
+Regarding how dimensional expressions are converted by \TeX{} into scaled points
+see also \autoref{sec:Dimensions}.
+
+\subsection{Catcodes and spaces}
+
+The main problems are caused by active characters, because \csbxint{expr} et
+al.\@ expand forward whatever comes from token stream; they apply |\string|
+only in a second step. For example the catcode of |&| from |&&| Boolean
+disjunction is not really important as long as it is not active, or comment,
+or escape... or brace... or ignored... in brief, as long as it is reasonable,
+and in particular whether |@| is of catcode letter or other does not matter.
+
+It is always possible to insert manually the |\string| in the expression
+before a problematic (but reasonable) character catcode, or even to use
+|\detokenize| for a big chunk.
+
+\subsubsection{\csh{xintexprSafeCatcodes}}
+\label{xintexprSafeCatcodes}
+
+For an even more radical way, there is \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} which sets
+the catcodes of many characters to safe values. This is a non-expandable step
+as it changes catcodes.
+% This is used
+% internally by \csbxint{NewExpr} (restoring the catcodes on exit), hence it
+% does not have to be protected against active characters when used at
+% top-level.
+
+\csbxint{defvar}, \csbxint{deffunc}, et al., execute it before fetching their
+semi-colon delimited arguments, so they can be used (also in the document
+body) for example with Babel+French (which makes the semi-colon active in the
+(\LaTeX) document body). This applies also to \csbxint{NewExpr}.
+
+% As \csbxint{NewExpr} and \csbxint{deffunc} and variants use internally some
+% |\scantokens|, they will (reasonably) succeed in sanitizing catcodes in the
+% expressions, even if all is from the replacement text of some macro whose
+% definition was done under some special catcode regime.
+
+But, if used in the body of macro definitions problems may arise from the
+catcode regime at that location. This applies in particular to the
+semi-colon as used by \csbxint{deffunc}, \csbxint{defvar} and variants as
+delimiter. Thus make sure the semi-colon has its normal catcode when issueing
+\csbxint{deffunc} inside some macro definition.
+
+\csbxint{deffunc} is more lenient than \csbxint{defvar} regarding catcodes of
+characters in expression bodies as it does some |\scantokens| which will reset
+compatible catcodes. And also, characters inside the
+expression may usually be prefixed with |\string|; but some aspects of the parsing
+use delimited macros which need the comma, equality sign and closing
+parenthesis to have standard catcodes.
+
+Even if used in a context where catcodes are already set, \csbxint{deffunc},
+\csbxint{defvar} and variants ignore completely the colon in |:=| so it can
+have any (reasonable) catcode. Moreover it is optional.
+
+The semi-colon in the syntax of \csbxint{Digits} is no real problem either
+(cf. \csbxint{Digits} documentation).
+
+\begin{framed}
+ It is important to ALWAYS shortly let \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} be followed
+ by \csbxint{exprRestoreCatcodes}.\IMPORTANTf{} If one uses twice
+ \csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} then the next \csbxint{exprRestoreCatcodes} will
+ restore the ancient catcode regime at time of the first one.
+\end{framed}
+
+\subsubsection{\csh{xintexprRestoreCatcodes}}
+\label{xintexprRestoreCatcodes}
+
+Restores the catcodes to the earlier state. More precisely,
+\csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} sets a toggle (with local scope). If the toggle is
+set already it does not restore the current catcodes. The next
+\csa{xintexprRestoreCatcodes} unsets the toggle.
+So, in case of nesting, the
+catcodes are restored to what they were when the \emph{first} un-paired
+\csbxint{exprSafeCatcodes} got executed.
+
+\bigskip
+
+Spaces inside an |\xinttheexpr...\relax| should mostly be
+innocuous (except inside macro arguments).
+
+|\xintexpr| and |\xinttheexpr| are for the most part agnostic regarding
+catcodes: (unbraced) digits, binary operators, minus and plus signs as
+prefixes, dot as decimal mark, parentheses, may be indifferently of catcode
+letter or other or subscript or superscript, ..., it doesn't matter.%
+%
+\footnote{Furthermore, although \csbxint{expr} uses \csa{string}, it is
+ escape-char agnostic. It should work with any \csa{escapechar} setting
+ including -1.}
+
+The characters |+|, |-|, |*|, |/|, |^|, |!|, |&|, \verb+|+, |?|, |:|, |<|, |>|,
+|=|, |(|, |)|, |"|, |[|, |]|, |;|, the dot and the comma should not be active if
+in the expression, as everything is expanded along the way. If one of them is
+active, it should be prefixed with |\string|.
+
+The exclamation mark |!| should have its standard catcode: with catcode letter
+it is used internally and hence will confuse the parsers if it comes from the
+expression.
+
+Digits, slash, square brackets, minus sign, in the output from an
+|\xinttheexpr| are all of catcode 12. For |\xintthefloatexpr| the `e' in the
+output has its standard catcode ``letter''.
+
+A macro with arguments will expand and grab its arguments before the
+parser may get a chance to see them, so the situation with catcodes and spaces
+is not the same within such macro arguments.
+
+
+
+\subsection{Expandability, \csh{xintexpro}}
+
+As is the case with all other package macros |\xintexpr| \fexpan ds (in two
+steps) to its final (somewhat protected) result; and |\xinttheexpr| \fexpan ds
+(in two steps) to the chain of digits (and possibly minus sign |-|, decimal
+mark |.|, fraction slash |/|, scientific |e|, square brackets |[|, |]|)
+representing the result.
+
+The once expanded |\xintexpr| is |\romannumeral0\xintexpro|. is similarly
+|\xintiexpro| |\xintiiexpro| and |\xintfloatexpro|. For an example see
+\autoref{ssec:fibonacci}.
+
+An expression can only be legally finished by a |\relax| token, which
+will be absorbed.
+
+It is quite possible to nest expressions among themselves; for example, if one
+needs inside an |\xintiiexpr...\relax| to do some computations with fractions,
+rounding the final result to an integer, one just has to insert
+|\xintiexpr...\relax|. The functioning of the infix operators will not be in
+the least affected from the fact that the outer ``environment'' is the
+|\xintiiexpr| one.
+
+
+\subsection{\csh{xintDigits*}, \csh{xintSetDigits*}}
+\label{xintDigits*}
+\label{xintSetDigits*}
+
+These starred variants of \csbxint{Digits} and \csbxint{SetDigits} execute
+\csbxint{reloadxinttrig}.
+
+\subsection{\csh{xintiexpr}, \csh{xinttheiexpr}}
+\label{xintiexpr}\label{xinttheiexpr}\label{thexintiexpr}
+
+Equivalent\etype{x} to doing |\xintexpr round(...)\relax| (more precisely,
+|round| is applied to each leaf item of the |ople| independently of its
+depth).
+
+Intermediate calculations are exact, only the final output gets
+rounded. Half integers are rounded towards $+\infty$ for positive
+numbers and towards $-\infty$ for negative ones.
+
+An optional parameter |D| within brackets, immediately after |\xintiexpr| is
+allowed: it instructs (for |D>0|) the expression to do its final rounding to
+the nearest value with that many digits after the decimal mark, \emph{i.e.},
+|\xintiexpr [D] <expression>\relax| is equivalent (in case of a single
+expression) to |\xintexpr round(<expression>, D)\relax|.
+
+|\xintiexpr [0] ...| is the same as |\xintiexpr ...| and rounds to an integer.
+
+The case of negative |D| gives quantization to an integer multiple of
+\dtt{1e-D}.\NewWith{1.4a}
+
+If truncation rather than rounding is needed on can use |\xintexpr
+trunc(...)\relax| for truncation to an integer or |\xintexpr
+trunc(...,D)\relax| for quantization to an integer multiple or \dtt{1eD}. But
+this works only for a single scalar value.
+
+Already on October 20, 2015, it was suggested by \textsc{Kpym} to give some
+meaning to negative |D|. The suggestion was to let it act like |-D| but
+remove trailing zeroes of the output. Finally, I opted rather for
+quantization.
+
+\subsection{\csh{xintiiexpr}, \csh{xinttheiiexpr}}
+\label{xintiiexpr}\label{xinttheiiexpr}\label{thexintiiexpr}
+
+This variant\etype{x} does not know fractions. It deals almost only with long
+integers. Comma separated lists of expressions are allowed.
+
+\begin{framed}
+ It maps |/| to the \emph{rounded} quotient. The operator
+ |//| is, like in |\xintexpr...\relax|, mapped to \emph{truncated} division.
+ The Euclidean quotient (which for positive operands is like the truncated
+ quotient) was, prior to release |1.1|, associated to |/|. The function
+ |quo(a,b)| can still be employed.
+\end{framed}
+
+The \csbxint{iiexpr}-essions use the `ii' macros for addition, subtraction,
+multiplication, power, square, sums, products, Euclidean quotient and
+remainder.
+
+The |round|, |trunc|, |floor|, |ceil| functions are still available, and are
+about the only places where fractions can be used, but |/| within, if not
+somehow hidden will be executed as integer rounded division. To avoid this one
+can wrap the input in \dtt{qfrac}: this means however that none of the normal
+expression parsing will be executed on the argument.
+
+To understand the illustrative examples, recall that |round| and |trunc| have
+a second (non negative) optional argument. In a normal \csbxint{expr}-essions,
+|round| and |trunc| are mapped to \csbxint{Round} and \csbxint{Trunc}, in
+\csbxint{iiexpr}-essions, they are mapped to \csbxint{iRound} and
+\csbxint{iTrunc}.
+
+
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xinttheiiexpr 5/3, round(5/3,3), trunc(5/3,3), trunc(\xintDiv {5}{3},3),
+trunc(\xintRaw {5/3},3)\relax{} are problematic, but
+%
+\xinttheiiexpr 5/3, round(qfrac(5/3),3), trunc(qfrac(5/3),3), floor(qfrac(5/3)),
+ceil(qfrac(5/3))\relax{} work!
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+On the other hand decimal numbers and scientific numbers can be used directly
+as arguments to the |num|, |round|, or any function producing an integer.
+
+\begin{framed}
+ Scientific numbers will be
+ represented with as many zeroes as necessary, thus one does not want to
+ insert \dtt{num(1e100000)} for example in an \csa{xintiiexpr}ession!
+\end{framed}
+
+%
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xinttheiiexpr num(13.4567e3)+num(10000123e-3)\relax % should (num truncates) compute 13456+10000
+\end{everbatim*}
+%
+
+The |reduce| function is not available and will raise an error. The |frac|
+function also. The |sqrt| function is mapped to \csbxint{iiSqrt} which gives
+a truncated square root. The |sqrtr| function is mapped to \csbxint{iiSqrtR}
+which gives a rounded square root.
+
+One can use the Float macros if one is careful to use |num|, or |round|
+etc\dots on their output.
+
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xinttheiiexpr \xintFloatSqrt [20]{2}, \xintFloatSqrt [20]{3}\relax % no operations

+\noindent The next example requires the |round|, and one could not put the |+| inside it:
+
+\xinttheiiexpr round(\xintFloatSqrt [20]{2},19)+round(\xintFloatSqrt [20]{3},19)\relax
+
+(the second argument of |round| and |trunc| tells how many digits from after the
+decimal mark one should keep.)
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+The whole point of \csbxint{iiexpr} is to gain some speed in
+\emph{integer-only} algorithms, and the above explanations related to how to
+nevertheless use fractions therein are a bit peripheral. We observed
+(2013/12/18) of the order of $30$\% speed gain when dealing with numbers with

+
+Equivalent\etype{x} to doing |\xintexpr ...\relax| and returning $True$ if the
+result does not vanish, and $False$ if the result is zero. As |\xintexpr|, this
+can be used on comma separated lists of expressions, and even bracketed lists.
+\CHANGED{1.4}
+
+It can be customized, one only needs to modify the following:
+\begin{everbatim}
+\def\xintboolexprPrintOne#1{\xintiiifNotZero{#1}{True}{False}}%
+\end{everbatim}
+Not only are |True| and |False| usable in input, also |true| and |false| are

+
+Maybe obsolete:
+
+There is slight quirk in case it is used as a sub-expression: the boolean

+\xintfloateval{[-2] 355/113} has \xinttheDigits\ minus 2 digits.
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+These macros are useful when one uses some extra wrapper doing some parsing of
+its input, like the |\num| macro of
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/siunitx}{siunitx}, which would choke on some of the
+syntax elements allowed inside \csb{xintexpr}|...\relax| (for example
+brackets).
+As shown in the above examples, these macros, like the underlying parsers
+accept arbitrarily many comma separated expressions.
+
+
+\subsection{Using an expression parser within another one}
+
+This was already illustrated before. In the following:
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xintfloatexpr \xintexpr add(1/i, i=1234..1243)\relax ^100\relax
+\end{everbatim*},
+the inner sum is computed exactly. Then it will be rounded to |\xinttheDigits|
+significant digits, and then its power will be evaluated as a float operation.
+One should avoid the "|\xintthe|" parsers in inner positions as this induces
+digit by digit parsing of the inner computation result by the outer parser.
+Here is the same computation done with floats all the way:
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xintfloatexpr add(1/i, i=1234..1243)^100\relax
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+Not surprisingly this differs from the previous one which was exact until
+raising to the |100|th power.
+
+The fact that the inner expression occurs inside a bigger one has nil
+influence on its behaviour. There is the limitation though that the outputs
+from \csbxint{expr} and \csbxint{floatexpr} can not be used directly in
+\csbxint{theiiexpr} integer-only parser. But one can do:
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\xintiiexpr round(\xintfloatexpr 3.14^10\relax)\relax % or trunc
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+
+\subsection{The \csh{xintthecoords} macro}
+\label{xintthecoords}
+
+It converts (in two expansion steps) the expansion result of
+\csbxint{floatexpr} (or \csbxint{expr} or \csbxint{iiexpr}) into the |(a, b)
+(c, d) ...| format for list of coordinates as expected by the |TikZ|
+|coordinates| syntax.%

+\csbxint{NewExpr} macro is used as:

+\catcode`# 6
+%
+\item the |[n]| is \emph{mandatory}, even for |n=0|.%
+\footnote{there is some use for \csa{xintNewExpr}|[0]| compared to an
+ \csa{edef} as \csa{xintNewExpr} has some built-in catcode protection.}
+\item the macro |\myformula| is defined without checking if it already exists,
+ \LaTeX{} users might prefer to do first |\newcommand*\myformula {}| to get a
+ reasonable error message in case |\myformula| already exists,
+\item the protection against active characters is done automatically (as long
+ as the whole thing has not already been fetched as a macro argument and
+ the catcodes correspondingly already frozen).
+\end{itemize}
+
+It (if it succeeds) will be a completely expandable macro entirely built-up using |\xintAdd|,
+|\xintSub|, |\xintMul|, |\xintDiv|, |\xintPow|, etc\dots as corresponds to the
+expression written with the infix operators.
+Macros created by |\xintNewExpr| can thus be nested.

+ \item \FA {\FB {30}{10}}{\FB {40}{20}}
+\end{enumerate}
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+The documentation is much shortened here because \csbxint{NewExpr} and \csbxint{deffunc}
+are very much related one with the other.
+
+\begin{framed}
+ ATTENTION!
+
+ The original spirit of \csbxint{NewExpr} was to define a (possibly very big)
+ macro using only \xintfracname, and this means in particular that it must be
+ used only with arguments compatible with the \xintfracname input
+ format.\IMPORTANTf
+
+ Thus an |\xintexpr| declared variable has no chance to work, it must be
+ wrapped explicitly in |\xinteval{...}| to be fetched as argument to a macro
+ constructed by \csbxint{NewExpr}.
+\end{framed}
+
+They share essentially the same limitations.
+
+Notice though that \csbxint{NewFloatExpr} accepts and recognizes the optional
+argument |[Q]| of \csbxint{floatexpr}, contrarily to \csbxint{deffloatfunc}.
+Use an |\empty| in case the contents are not known in advance.
+
+
+Historical note: prior to |1.4|, \xintexprname used a |\csname..\endcsname|
+encapsulation technique which impacted the string pool memory. The
+\csbxint{NewExpr} was designed as a method to pre-parse the expression and
+produce one single, gigantic, nested usage of the relevant \xintfracname
+macros. This way, only those macros were expanded which had nil impact on the
+\TeX{} string pool.
+
+Later on it was found that this mechanism could be employed to define
+functions. Basically underneath |98%| of \csbxint{NewExpr} and
+\csbxint{deffunc} are using the same shared code.
+
+\xintDigits:= 16\relax
+
+\subsection{Analogies and differences of \csh{xintiiexpr} with \csh{numexpr}}
+
+\csbxint{iiexpr}|..\relax| is a parser of expressions knowing only (big)
+integers. There are, besides the enlarged range of allowable inputs, some
+important differences of syntax between |\numexpr| and |\xintiiexpr| and
+variants:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Contrarily to |\numexpr|, the |\xintiiexpr| parser will stop expanding
+ only after having encountered (and swallowed) a \emph{mandatory} |\relax|
+ token.
+\item In particular, spaces between digits (and not only around infix
+ operators or parentheses) do not stop |\xintiiexpr|, contrarily to the
+ situation with |numexpr|: |\the\numexpr 7 + 3 5\relax| expands (in one
+ step)%
+%
+\footnote {The |\numexpr| triggers continued expansion after the space
+ following the |3| to check if some operator like |+| is upstream. But
+ after having found the |5| it treats it as and end-marker.}
+%
+ to \dtt{\detokenize\expandafter{\the\numexpr 7 + 3 5\relax}\unskip}, whereas
+ |\xintthe\xintiiexpr 7 + 3 5\relax| expands (in two steps) to
+ \dtt{\detokenize\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter {\xintthe\xintiiexpr 7
+ + 3 5\relax}}.%
+%
+\footnote {Since |1.2l| one can also use the underscore |_| to separate digits
+for readability of long numbers.}
+
+\item Inside an |\edef|, an expression |\xintiiexpr...\relax| get fully
+ evaluated, whereas |\numexpr| without |\the| or |\number| prefix would not,
+ if not itself embedded in another |\the\numexpr| or similar context.
+\item (ctd.) The private format to which |\xintiiexpr...\relax| (et al.)
+ evaluates may use |\xintthe| prefix to turn into explicit digits,
+ (for example in arguments to some macros which expand their arguments). The |\the| \TeX\ primitive prefix would
+ not work here.
+\item (ctd.) One can embed a |\numexpr...\relax| (with its |\relax|!) inside an
+ |\xintiiexpr...\relax| without |\the| or |\number|, but the reverse situation
+ requires usage of |\xintthe| or \csbxint{eval} user interface,
+\item |\numexpr -(1)\relax| is illegal. In contrast |\xintiiexpr -(1)\relax| is
+ perfectly legal and gives the expected result (what else ?).
+\item |\numexpr 2\cnta\relax| is illegal (with |\cnta| a |\count| register.)
+ In contrast
+ |\xintiiexpr 2\cnta\relax| is perfectly legal and will do the tacit
+ multiplication.
+\item |\the\numexpr| or |\number\numexpr| expands in one step, but
+ |\xintthe\xintiiexpr| or |\xinttheiiexpr| needs two steps.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Chaining expressions for expandable algorithmics}
+\label{ssec:fibonacci}
+
+We will see in this section how to chain |\xintexpr|-essions with
+|\expandafter|'s, like it is possible with |\numexpr|. For this it is
+convenient to use |\romannumeral0\xintexpro| which is the once-expanded form of
+|\xintexpr|, as we can then chain using only one |\expandafter| each time.
+
+For example, here is the code employed
+on the title page to compute (expandably, of course!) the 1250th Fibonacci
+number:
+
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\catcode`_ 11
+\def\Fibonacci #1{% \Fibonacci{N} computes F(N) with F(0)=0, F(1)=1.
+ \expandafter\Fibonacci_a\expandafter
+ {\the\numexpr #1\expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro 1\expandafter\relax\expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro 1\expandafter\relax\expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro 1\expandafter\relax\expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro 0\relax}}
+%
+\def\Fibonacci_a #1{%
+ \ifcase #1
+ \expandafter\Fibonacci_end_i

+ \ifodd #1
+ \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\Fibonacci_b_ii
+ \else
+ \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\Fibonacci_b_i
+ \fi
+ \fi {#1}%
+}% * signs are omitted from the next macros, tacit multiplications
+\def\Fibonacci_b_i #1#2#3{\expandafter\Fibonacci_a\expandafter

+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro sqr(#2)+sqr(#3)\expandafter\relax\expandafter}\expandafter

+}% end of Fibonacci_b_i
+\def\Fibonacci_b_ii #1#2#3#4#5{\expandafter\Fibonacci_a\expandafter
+ {\the\numexpr (#1-1)/2\expandafter}\expandafter

+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro (2#2-#3)#3\expandafter\relax\expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro #2#4+#3#5\expandafter\relax\expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro #2#5+#3(#4-#5)\relax}%
+}% end of Fibonacci_b_ii
+% code as used on title page:
+%\def\Fibonacci_end_i #1#2#3#4#5{\xintthe#5}
+%\def\Fibonacci_end_ii #1#2#3#4#5{\xinttheiiexpr #2#5+#3(#4-#5)\relax}
+% new definitions:
+\def\Fibonacci_end_i #1#2#3#4#5{{#4}{#5}}% {F(N+1)}{F(N)} in \xintexpr format
+\def\Fibonacci_end_ii #1#2#3#4#5%
+ {\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro #2#4+#3#5\expandafter\relax
+ \expandafter}\expandafter
+ {\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro #2#5+#3(#4-#5)\relax}}% idem.
+% \FibonacciN returns F(N) (in encapsulated format: needs \xintthe for printing)
+\def\FibonacciN {\expandafter\xint_secondoftwo\romannumeral-`0\Fibonacci }%
+\catcode`_ 8
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+
+The macro |\Fibonacci| produces not one specific value |F(N)| but a pair of
+successive values |{F(N)}{F(N+1)}| which can then serve as starting point of
+another routine devoted to compute a whole sequence |F(N), F(N+1),
+F(N+2),....|. Each of |F(N)| and |F(N+1)| is kept in the encapsulated internal
+\xintexprname format.
+
+|\FibonacciN| produces the single |F(N)|. It also keeps it in the private
+format; thus printing it will need the |\xintthe| prefix.
+
+\begingroup\footnotesize\sffamily\baselineskip 10pt
+Here a code snippet which
+checks the routine via a \string\message\ of the first $51$ Fibonacci
+numbers (this is not an efficient way to generate a sequence of such
+numbers, it is only for validating \csa{FibonacciN}).
+%
+\begin{everbatim}
+\def\Fibo #1.{\xintthe\FibonacciN {#1}}%
+\message{\xintiloop [0+1] \expandafter\Fibo\xintiloopindex.,
+ \ifnum\xintiloopindex<49 \repeat \xintthe\FibonacciN{50}.}
+\end{everbatim}
+\endgroup
+
+The way we use |\expandafter|'s to chain successive |\xintiiexpro| evaluations
+is exactly analogous to what is possible with |\numexpr|. The various
+|\romannumeral0\xintiiexpro| could very well all have been |\xintiiexpr|'s but
+then we would have needed |\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter| each
+time.
+
+\begin{framed}
+ There is a difference though: |\numexpr| does \emph{NOT} expand inside an
+ |\edef|, and to force its expansion we must prefix it with |\the| or
+ |\number| or |\romannumeral| or another |\numexpr| which is itself prefixed,
+ etc\dots.
+
+ But |\xintexpr|, |\xintiexpr|, ..., expand fully in an |\edef|, with the
+ completely expanded
+ result encapsulated in a private format.
+
+ Using |\xintthe| as prefix is necessary to print the result (like |\the| or
+ |\number| in the case of |\numexpr|), but it is not necessary to get the
+ computation done (contrarily to the situation with |\numexpr|).
+\end{framed}
+
+
+Our |\Fibonacci| expands completely under \fexpan sion, so we can use
+\hyperref[fdef]{\ttfamily\char92fdef} rather than |\edef| in a situation such
+as
+%
+\leftedline {|\fdef \X {\FibonacciN {100}}|}
+%
+but it is usually about as efficient to employ |\edef|. And if we want
+%
+\leftedline{|\edef \Y {(\FibonacciN{100},\FibonacciN{200})}|,}
+%
+then |\edef| is necessary.
+
+Allright, so let's now give the code to generate |{F(N)}{F(N+1)}{F(N+2)}...|,
+using |\Fibonacci| for the first two and then using the standard recursion
+|F(N+2)=F(N+1)+F(N)|:
+
+\catcode`_ 11

+\subsection{When expandability is too much}
+
+Let's use the macros of \autoref{ssec:fibonacci} related to Fibonacci numbers.
+Notice that the $47$th Fibonacci number is \dtt{\xintthe\FibonacciN {47}} thus
+already too big for \TeX{} and \eTeX{}.
+
+
+The |\FibonacciN| macro found in \autoref{ssec:fibonacci} is completely
+expandable, it is even \fexpan dable. We need a wrapper with |\xintthe|
+prefix
+\begin{everbatim*}
+\def\theFibonacciN{\xintthe\FibonacciN}
+\end{everbatim*}
+to print in the document or to use within |\message| (or \LaTeX\ |typeout|) to
+write to the log and terminal.
+
+\begingroup
+ \def\A {1859} \def\B {1573}
+ \edef\X {\theFibonacciN\A} \edef\Y {\theFibonacciN\B}
+ \edef\GCDAB {\xintiiGCD\A\B}\edef\Z {\theFibonacciN\GCDAB}
+ \edef\GCDXY{\xintiiGCD\X\Y}
+
+ The |\xintthe| prefix also allows its use it as argument to the \xintname
+ macros: for example if we are interested in knowing how many digits
+ $F(1250)$ has, it suffices to issue |\xintLen {\theFibonacciN {1250}}|
+ (which expands to \dtt{\xintLen {\theFibonacciN {1250}}}). Or if we want to
+ check the formula $gcd(F(1859),F(1573))=F(gcd(1859,1573))=F(143)$, we only
+ need%
+%
+\footnote{The
+ \csa{xintiiGCD} macro is provided by both the \xintgcdname package (since
+ |1.0|) and by the \xintname package (since |1.3d|).}

+$\xintiiGCD{\theFibonacciN{1859}}{\theFibonacciN{1573}}=%

+\leftedline{$\dtt{\xintiiGCD{\X}{\Y}}=\dtt{\theFibonacciN{\GCDAB}}$}
+
+The |\theFibonacciN| macro expanded its |\xintiiGCD{1859}{1573}| argument via the
+services of |\numexpr|: this step allows only things obeying the \TeX{} bound,
+naturally! (but \dtt{F(\xintiiPow2{31}}) would be rather big anyhow...).
+
+This is very convenient but of course it repeats the complete evaluation each
+time it is done. In practice, it is often useful to store the result of such
+evaluations in macros. Any |\edef| will break expandability, but if the goal
+is at some point to print something to the |dvi| or |pdf| output, and not only
+to the |log| file, then expandability has to be broken one day or another!
+
+Hence, in practice, if we want to print in the document some computation
+results, we can proceed like this and avoid having to repeat identical
+evaluations:
+\begin{everbatim}
+\begingroup
+ \def\A {1859} \def\B {1573}
+ \edef\X {\theFibonacciN\A} \edef\Y {\theFibonacciN\B}
+ \edef\GCDAB {\xintiiGCD\A\B}\edef\Z {\theFibonacciN\GCDAB}
+ \edef\GCDXY{\xintiiGCD\X\Y}
+The identity $\gcd(F(\A),F(\B))=F(\gcd(\A,\B))$ can be checked via evaluation
+of both sides: $\gcd(F(\A),F(\B))=\gcd(\printnumber\X,\printnumber\Y)=
+\printnumber{\GCDXY} = F(\gcd(\A,\B)) = F(\GCDAB) =\printnumber\Z$.\par
+ % some further computations involving \A, \B, \X, \Y
+\endgroup % closing the group removes assignments to \A, \B, ...
+% or choose longer names less susceptible to overwrite something.
+% Note: there is no LaTeX \newecommand which would be to \edef like \newcommand is to \def
+\end{everbatim}
+The identity $\gcd(F(\A),F(\B))=F(\gcd(\A,\B))$ can be checked via evaluation
+of both sides: $\gcd(F(\A),F(\B))=\gcd(\printnumber\X,\printnumber\Y)=
+\printnumber{\GCDXY} = F(\gcd(\A,\B)) = F(\GCDAB) =\printnumber\Z$.\par
+\endgroup
+
+One may legitimately ask the author: why expandability
+to such extremes, for things such as big fractions or floating point numbers
+(even continued fractions...) which anyhow can not be used directly within
+\TeX's primitives such as |\ifnum|? Why insist on a concept
+which is foreign to the vast majority of \TeX\ users and even programmers?
+
+I have no answer: it made definitely sense at the start of \xintname (see
+\autoref{ssec:origins}) and once started I could not stop.

+\subsection{Acknowledgements (2013/05/25)}
+
+I was greatly helped in my preparatory thinking, prior to producing such an
+expandable parser, by the commented source of the
+\href{https://ctan.org/pkg/l3kernel}{l3fp} package, specifically the
+|l3fp-parse.dtx| file (in the version of April-May 2013; I think there was in
+particular a text called ``roadmap'' which was helpful). Also the source of the
+|calc| package was instructive, despite the fact that here for |\xintexpr| the
+principles are necessarily different due to the aim of achieving expandability.

+These examples were first added to this manual at the time of the |1.1|

+\begin{everbatim*}
+Prime numbers are always cool
+\xinttheiiexpr seq((seq((subs((x/:m)?{(m*m>x)?{1}{0}}{-1},m=2n+1))
+ ??{break(0)}{omit}{break(1)},n=1++))?{x}{omit},
+ x=10001..[2]..10200)\relax
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+The syntax in this last example may look a bit involved (... and it is so I
+admit). First |x/:m| computes |x modulo m| (this is the modulo with respect to
+floored division). The |(x)?{yes}{no}| construct checks if |x| (which
+\emph{must} be within parentheses) is true or false, i.e. non zero or zero. It
+then executes either the |yes| or the |no| branch, the non chosen branch is
+\emph{not} evaluated. Thus if |m| divides |x| we are in the second (``false'')
+branch. This gives a |-1|. This |-1| is the argument to a |??| branch which is
+of the type |(y)??{y<0}{y=0}{y>0}|, thus here the |y<0|, i.e., |break(0)| is
+chosen. This |0| is thus given to another |?| which consequently chooses
+|omit|, hence the number is not kept in the list. The numbers which survive
+are the prime numbers.
+
+\begin{everbatim*}

+
+% \xintexprname has minimal tools and
+% is obstinate about doing everything expandably! We are hampered by absence of a
+% notion of ``nuple''. The algorithm divides |N| by |2| until no more possible,
+% then by |3|, then by |4| (which is silly), then by |5|, then by |6| (silly
+% again), \dots.
+
+% The variable |L=rseq(#1;...)| expands, if one follows the steps, to a comma
+% separated list starting with the initial (evaluated) |N=#1| and then
+% pseudo-triplets where the first item is |N| trimmed of small primes, the
+% second item is the last prime divisor found, and the third item is its
+% exponent in original |N|.
+
+% The algorithm needs to keep handy the last computed quotient by prime powers,
+% hence all of them, but at the very end it will be cleaner to get rid of them
+% (this corresponds to the first line in the code above). This is achieved in a
+% cumbersome inefficient way; indeed each item extraction |[L][i]| is costly: it
+% is not like accessing an array stored in memory, due to expandability, nothing
+% can be stored in memory! Nevertheless, this step could be done here in a far
+% less inefficient manner if there was a variant of |seq| which, in the spirit
+% of \csbxint{iloopindex}, would know how many steps it had been through so far.
+% This is a feature to be added to |\xintexpr|! (as well as a |++| construct
+% allowing a non unit step).
+
+% Notice that in |iter(([@][0])//p;| the |@| refers to the previous triplet (or
+% in the first step to |N|), but the latter |@| showing up in |(@/:p)?| refers
+% to the previous value computed by |iter|.
+
+% \begin{snugframed}
+% Parentheses are essential in |..([y][0])| else the parser will see |..[| and
+% end up in ultimate confusion, and also in |([@][0])/:p| else the parser will
+% see the itemwise operator |]/| on lists and again be very confused (I could
+% implement a |]/:| on lists, but in this situation this would also be very
+% confusing to the parser.)
+% \end{snugframed}
+
+% See \autoref{ssec:factorize} for a routine |\Factorize| written directly with
+% \xintname macros. Last time I checked |\Factors| was about seven times slower
+% than |\Factorize| in test cases such as
+% |16246355912554185673266068721806243461403654781833| and others. Among the
+% various things explaining the speed difference, there is fact that the
+% |\Factorize| algorithm step by increments of two, not one, and also it divides
+% only once, obtaining quotient and remainder in one go. These two things
+% already make for a speed-up factor of about four. Thus, |\Factors| is not
+% completely inefficient in comparison, and was quite easier to come up with
+% than |\Factorize|.

+\subsection{Completely expandable prime test}
+\label{ssec:primesI}
+
+Let us now construct a completely expandable macro which returns $1$ if its
+given input is prime and $0$ if not:
+\everb|@
+\def\remainder #1#2{\the\numexpr #1-(#1/#2)*#2\relax }
+\def\IsPrime #1%
+ {\xintANDof {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}{\xintSeq {2}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}}}
+|
+
+This uses \csbxint{iiSqrt} and assumes its input is at least $5$. Rather than
+\xintname's own \csbxint{iiRem} we used a quicker |\numexpr| expression as we
+are dealing with short integers. Also we used \csbxint{ANDof} which will
+return $1$ only if all the items are non-zero. The macro is a bit
+silly with an even input, ok, let's enhance it to detect an even input:
+\everb|@
+\def\IsPrime #1%
+ {\xintiiifOdd {#1}
+ {\xintANDof % odd case
+ {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}
+ {\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}%
+ }%
+ }
+ {\xintifEq {#1}{2}{1}{0}}%
+ }
+|
+
+We used the \xintname expandable tests (on big integers or fractions)
+in order for |\IsPrime| to be \fexpan dable.
+
+Our integers are short, but without |\expandafter|'s with
+|\@firstoftwo|, % @ n'est plus actif dans le dtx 1.1 !
+or some other related techniques,
+direct use of |\ifnum..\fi| tests is dangerous. So to make the macro more
+efficient we are going to use the expandable tests provided by the package
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox}%
+%
+\footnote{\url{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}}.
+%
+The macro becomes:
+%
+\everb|@
+\def\IsPrime #1%
+ {\ifnumodd {#1}
+ {\xintANDof % odd case
+ {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}{\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}}}
+ {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}}
+|
+
+In the odd case however we have to assume the integer is at least $7$, as
+|\xintSeq| generates an empty list if |#1=3| or |5|, and |\xintANDof| returns
+$1$ when supplied an empty list. Let us ease up a bit |\xintANDof|'s work by
+letting it work on only $0$'s and $1$'s. We could use:
+%
+\everb|@
+\def\IsNotDivisibleBy #1#2%
+ {\ifnum\numexpr #1-(#1/#2)*#2=0 \expandafter 0\else \expandafter1\fi}
+|
+\noindent
+where the |\expandafter|'s are crucial for this macro to be \fexpan dable and
+hence work within the applied \csbxint{ANDof}. Anyhow, now that we have loaded
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox}, we might as well use:
+%
+\everb|@
+\newcommand{\IsNotDivisibleBy}[2]{\ifnumequal{#1-(#1/#2)*#2}{0}{0}{1}}
+|
+\noindent
+Let us enhance our prime macro to work also on the small primes:
+\everb|@
+\newcommand{\IsPrime}[1] % returns 1 if #1 is prime, and 0 if not
+ {\ifnumodd {#1}
+ {\ifnumless {#1}{8}
+ {\ifnumequal{#1}{1}{0}{1}}% 3,5,7 are primes
+ {\xintANDof
+ {\xintApply
+ { \IsNotDivisibleBy {#1}}{\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiiSqrt{#1}}}}%
+ }}% END OF THE ODD BRANCH
+ {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}% EVEN BRANCH
+}
+|
+
+The input is still assumed positive. There is a deliberate blank before
+\csa{IsNotDivisibleBy} to use this feature of \csbxint{Apply}: a space stops the
+expansion of the applied macro (and disappears). This expansion will be done by
+\csbxint{ANDof}, which has been designed to skip everything as soon as it finds
+a false (i.e. zero) input. This way, the efficiency is considerably improved.
+
+We did generate via the \csbxint{Seq} too many potential divisors though. Later
+sections give two variants: one with \csbxint{iloop} (\autoref{ssec:primesII})
+which is still expandable and another one (\autoref{ssec:primesIII}) which is a
+close variant of the |\IsPrime| code above but with the \csbxint{For} loop, thus
+breaking expandability. The \hyperref[ssec:primesII]{xintiloop variant} does not
+first evaluate the integer square root, the \hyperref[ssec:primesIII]{xintFor
+ variant} still does. I did not compare their efficiencies.
+
+
+Let us construct with this expandable primality test a table of the prime
+numbers up to $1000$. We need to count how many we have in order to know how
+many tab stops one shoud add in the last row.%
+%
+\footnote{although a tabular row may have less tabs than in the
+ preamble, there is a problem with the \char`\|\space\space vertical
+ rule, if one does that.}
+%
+There is some subtlety for this
+last row. Turns out to be better to insert a |\\| only when we know for sure we
+are starting a new row; this is how we have designed the |\OneCell| macro. And
+for the last row, there are many ways, we use again |\xintApplyUnbraced| but
+with a macro which gobbles its argument and replaces it with a tabulation
+character. The \csbxint{For*} macro would be more elegant here.

+\subsection{Another completely expandable prime test}
+\label{ssec:primesII}
+
+The |\IsPrime| macro from \autoref{ssec:primesI} checked expandably if a (short)
+integer was prime, here is a partial rewrite using \csbxint{iloop}. We use the
+|etoolbox| expandable conditionals for convenience, but not everywhere as
+|\xintiloopindex| can not be evaluated while being braced. This is also the
+reason why |\xintbreakiloopanddo| is delimited, and the next macro
+|\SmallestFactor| which returns the smallest prime factor examplifies that. One
+could write more efficient completely expandable routines, the aim here was only
+to illustrate use of the general purpose \csbxint{iloop}. A little table giving

+\subsection{Miller-Rabin Pseudo-Primality expandably}
+\label{ssec:PrimesIV}
+
+
+% At the time of writing, the code at the link above is still the version from
+% April 2016 and it needed some hacks to get recursive (pseudo)-functions
+% defined. Since |1.2h| of |2016/11/20| there is \csbxint{NewFunction} which
+% allows us here to avoid such internal hacking.
+
+% And since |1.3| of |2018/03/01|, it is possible to use \csbxint{defiifunc}
+% also for recursive definitions, so we use it here, but we can benefit from it
+% only for modular exponentiation as the rest of the code uses |iter| or |break|
+% statements which are not yet compatible with \csbxint{defiifunc}.
+
+The |isPseudoPrime(n)| is usable in \csbxint{iiexpr}-essions and establishes
+if its (positive) argument is a Miller-Rabin PseudoPrime to the bases $2, 3,
+5, 7, 11, 13, 17$. If this is true and $n<341550071728321$ (which has 15
+digits) then $n$ really is a prime number.
+
+Similarly $n=3825123056546413051$ (19 digits) is the smallest composite number
+which is a strong pseudo prime for bases $2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19$ and
+$23$. It is easy to extend the code below to include these additional tests
+(we could make the list of tested bases an argument too, now that I think
+about it.)
+
+For more information see
+ \centeredline{\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality_test#Deterministic_variants_of_the_test}}
+ and
+\centeredline{\url{http://primes.utm.edu/prove/prove2_3.html}}
+
+In particular, according to \textsc{Jaeschke} \emph{On strong pseudoprimes to
+ several bases,} Math. Comp., 61 (1993) 915-926, if $n < 4,759,123,141$ it is
+enough to establish Rabin-Miller pseudo-primality to bases $a = 2, 7, 61$ to
+prove that $n$ is prime. This range is enough for \TeX\ numbers and we could
+then write a very fast expandable primality test for such numbers using only
+|\numexpr|. Left as an exercise\dots

+\subsection{A table of factorizations}
+\label{ssec:factorizationtable}
+
+As one more example with \csbxint{iloop} let us use an alignment to display the
+factorization of some numbers. The loop will actually only play a minor r\^ole
+here, just handling the row index, the row contents being almost entirely
+produced via a macro |\factorize|. The factorizing macro does not use
+|\xintiloop| as it didn't appear to be the convenient tool. As |\factorize| will
+have to be used on |\xintiloopindex|, it has been defined as a delimited macro.
+
+To spare some fractions of a second in the compilation time of this document
+(which has many many other things to do), \number"7FFFFFED{} and
+\number"7FFFFFFF, which turn out to be prime numbers, are not given to
+|factorize| but just typeset directly; this illustrates use of
+\csbxint{iloopskiptonext}.
+
+The code next generates a \hyperref[floatfactorize]{table} which has
+been made into a float appearing \vpageref{floatfactorize}. Here is now
+the code for factorization; the conditionals use the package provided
+|\xint_firstoftwo| and |\xint_secondoftwo|, one could have employed
+rather \LaTeX{}'s own |\@firstoftwo| and |\@secondoftwo|, or, simpler
+still in \LaTeX{} context, the |\ifnumequal|, |\ifnumless| \dots,
+utilities from the package |etoolbox| which do exactly that under the
+hood. Only \TeX{} acceptable numbers are treated here, but it would be
+easy to make a translation and use the \xintname macros, thus extending
+the scope to big numbers; naturally up to a cost in speed.
+
+The reason for some strange looking expressions is to avoid arithmetic overflow.

+\subsection{Another table of primes}
+\label{ssec:primesIII}
+
+As a further example, let us dynamically generate a tabular with the first $50$
+prime numbers after $12345$. First we need a macro to test if a (short) number
+is prime. Such a completely expandable macro was given in \autoref{ssec:primesI},
+here we consider a variant which will be slightly more efficient. This new
+|\IsPrime| has two parameters. The first one is a macro which it redefines to
+expand to the result of the primality test applied to the second argument. For
+convenience we use the \href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} wrappers to
+various |\ifnum| tests, although here there isn't anymore the constraint of
+complete expandability (but using explicit |\if..\fi| in tabulars has its
+quirks); equivalent tests are provided by \xintname, but they have some overhead
+as they are able to deal with arbitrarily big integers.
+
+\def\IsPrime #1#2%
+{\edef\TheNumber {\the\numexpr #2}% positive integer
+ \ifnumodd {\TheNumber}

+ \ifnumequal {\TheNumber}{(\TheNumber/##1)*##1}
+ {\def#1{0}\xintBreakFor }
+ {}%
+ }}
+ {\def#1{0}}}% 1 is not prime
+ {\ifnumequal {\TheNumber}{2}{\def#1{1}}{\def#1{0}}}%
+}%
+

+\def\IsPrime #1#2% """color[named]{PineGreen}#1=\Result, #2=tested number (assumed >0).;!

+
+Its output is a comma separated list with the number first, then its prime

+$$\csname ShowFactors_a\expandafter\endcsname\Z,\relax,\relax,$$
+\endgroup
+
+If we only considered small integers, we could write pure |\numexpr| methods
+which would be very much faster (especially if we had a table of small primes
+prepared first) but still ridiculously slow compared to any non expandable
+implementation, not to mention use of programming languages directly accessing
+the CPU registers\dots
+
+\subsection{The Quick Sort algorithm illustrated}\label{ssec:quicksort}
+
+First a completely expandable macro which sorts a comma separated list of
+numbers.%
+%
+\footnote{The code in earlier versions of this manual handled inputs composed
+ of braced items. I have switched to comma separated inputs on the occasion
+ of (link removed)
+ The version here is like
+ |code 3| on
+ (link removed) (which is about |3x| faster
+ than the earlier code it replaced in this manual) with a modification to
+ make it more efficient if the data has many repeated values.
+
+ A faster routine (for sorting hundreds of values) is provided as |code 6| at
+ the link mentioned in the footnote, it is based on Merge Sort, but limited
+ to inputs which one can handle as \TeX{} dimensions.%
+
+ This |code 6| could be extended to handle more general numbers, as
+ acceptable by \xintfracname. I have also written a non expandable version,
+ which is even faster, but this matters really only when handling hundreds or
+ rather thousands of values.}
+%
+
+The |\QSx| macro expands its list argument, which may thus be a macro; its
+comma separated items must expand to integers or decimal numbers or fractions
+or scientific notation as acceptable to \xintfracname, but if an item is
+itself some (expandable) macro, this macro will be expanded each time the item
+is considered in a comparison test! This is actually good if the macro expands
+in one step to the digits, and there are many many digits, but bad if the macro
+needs to do many computations. Thus |\QSx| should be used with either explicit
+numbers or with items being macros expanding in one step to the numbers
+(particularly if these numbers are very big).
+
+If the interest is only in \TeX{} integers, then one should replace the
+|\xintifCmp| macro with a suitable conditional, possibly helped by tools such as
+|\ifnumgreater|, |\ifnumequal| and |\ifnumless| from
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} (\LaTeX{} only; I didn't see a
+direct equivalent to |\xintifCmp|.) Or, if we are dealing with decimal numbers
+with at most four+four digits, then one should use suitable |\ifdim| tests.
+Naturally this will boost consequently the speed, from having skipped all the
+overhead in parsing fractions and scientific numbers as are acceptable by
+\xintfracname macros, and subsequent treatment.

+All the previous examples were with numbers which could have been handled via
+|\ifdim| tests rather than the \csbxint{ifCmp} macro from \xintfracname; using
+|\ifdim| tests would naturally be faster. Even faster routine is |code 6| at
+(link removed) which uses |\pdfescapestring| and a
+Merge Sort algorithm.
+
+We then turn to a graphical illustration of the algorithm.%
+%
+\footnote{I have rewritten (2015/11/21) the routine to do only once (and not thrice) the
+ needed calls to \csa{xintifCmp}, up to the price of one additional |\edef|,
+ although due to the context execution time on our side is not an issue and
+ moreover is anyhow overwhelmed by the TikZ's activities. Simultaneously I
+ have updated the code.
+ The
+ variant with the choice of pivot on the right has more overhead: the reason
+ is simply that we do not convert the data into an array, but maintain a list
+ of tokens with self-reorganizing delimiters.}
+%
+For simplicity the pivot is always chosen as the first list item. Then we also
+give a variant which picks up the last item as pivot.

+pivot randomly, the routine would have to be substantially rewritten: in

+% The idea to give a meaning to negative D (in the context of optional
+% argument to \xintiexpr) was suggested a long time ago by Kpym (October 20,
+% 2015). His suggestion was then to treat it as positive D but trim trailing
+% zeroes. But since then, there is \xintDecToString which can be combined with
+% \xintREZ, and I feel matters of formatting output require a whole module (or
+% rather use existing third-party tools), and I decided to opt rather for an
+% operation similar as the quantize() of Python Decimal module. I.e. we
+% truncate (or round) to an integer multiple of a given power of 10.
+%
+% Other reason to decide to do this is that it looks as if I don't even need
+% to understand the original code to hack into its ending via \XINT_trunc_G or
+% \XINT_itrunc_G. For the latter it looks as if logically I simply have to do
+% nothing. For the former I simply have to add some eD postfix.
